Trivia

Guevara once told several mothers of bathing-suit parade contestants that such a parade would be contrary to religion and modesty.[1]

gollark: Yeees, but good templating engines also handle that for me when I write code.
gollark: The second way can fix all the escapey messes pretty simply and easily, since I'm not meddling with just sticking the user data directly into a string in the first place.
gollark: For example, when I write SQL statements in my projects, I am not doing something like `INSERT INTO messages VALUES ($nickname, $message)` i.e. directly interpolating that data, because SQL injection; I do `DB.run("INSERT INTO MESSAGES VALUES (?, ?)", [nickname, message])` or something like that.
gollark: ...
gollark: I mean, you can escape some special characters (not magically all of them at once, that would be moronically stupid), but the solution is to just use things which either don't require stuff to be escaped or handle it sensibly and securely for you.
