But I don't speak Esperanto, and my programs don't generally care what
characters are used for European currencies. When I create a simple
program that takes a text file (created by me) and munges it into a
different format, I don't care if someone from Uzbekistan can read it or
not. When I create a one-time use program to visualize some data on a
graph, I don't care if anyone else can read the axis labels but me.
These are realities. A good programming language will allow for these
realities without putting the burden on the programmer to turn *every*
program into a politically correct, globalization compliant model of
modern groupthink.
Then please show a program of that kind where you need to put additional
effort in to make it run under Python3, but it'd be easy in Python2! I
regularly write similar programs, and it works for me to simply ignore
that there is Unicode etc. Just load some data and show it in numpy, why
do I need to care about Unicode?
