gollark: > I don't know how to write low-level Haskell and quite frankly I don't think I want to knowJust give people the option of using `Text` (UTF-16 ææææ), `String` (not even a UTF æææææææææ), or `[Word8]` (what could possibly go wrong).
gollark: So, I don't know exactly how Pascal works, mostly just that it has length-prefixed strings? But I think that having the length prefixes be different... lengths... introduces problems compared to just, say, a usize stored with the pointer.
gollark: UTF-8 all the time always µhahahaha.
gollark: 7-bit ASCII is... fine?
gollark: No, I mean the PEP 393 thing is fairly utterly apioformic.
