Re: Anachronistic Acronyms in Parrot?

[Guido van Rossum]

Should we really be discussing encodings this early in the game?
Shouldn't that be a detail that is none of the engine's business (but
belongs to the individual data type implementations)?  That's the
abstraction we strive for in Python's implementation
(only partially successfully, for various mostly historic reasons).
