UTF-8 for *using* Plan 9, but I was just over at Bell's Plan 9 website browsing the source code and it's C written in ASCII.
So let's face it, UTF-8 is what you can use on your system which was programmed in ASCII. ASCII, the standard of computing, written in granite and never to be changed as long as we have binary digital computers.
too often a program needs to feed another program. how are we going to escape your escape character to get it into the output that will be the input of another program that needs it?
we'll escape it with another of itself? haha, we're back to what we have now....
ASCII also lasts for another reason, For better or worse, the international language for diplomacy, trade and tech of this planet is English. Thousands of programming languages use English, a few dozen don't and for most of those it's an optional choice to not use English. English is expressible in ASCII, and computer are programmed with shells, compilers and interpreters that are fed English.
visual programming has stagnated because it produces crap. Exhibit A, Microsoft Windows. Exhibit B, all Microsoft Applications not acquired by Microsoft.
GUI code wizard 'tards, hated to have them on my coding teams....
you do marketing for a living? sure, they have scientists and engineers over there, but the majority of workforce is doing cheap menial labor, not a "creative workforce" at all
half the work force, 300 million, are farmers. creativity in planting rice paddies....
we only get the sociopaths when system is allowed to slide into plutocracy/oligarchy. There are ways to break the back of such a mega-corporation/elite controlled system, one way to start would be audit of the oldest of the mega-corporations, the central banks.
in the USA we're spending hundreds of billions of dollars to mass murder, maim and starve hundreds of thousands of humans who didn't attack us, for the reasons of profit, power and political coin.
a public funded search engine run by academics would cost a minute fraction of this amount and actually have benefits for all.
cost is not the issue, our fucked up priorities (evil) is.
yes, and do it four days a week, both for school and corporations. then auto maintenance, retail and groceries could concentrate on the three day weekend for hours. people could get shit done and be less stressed.
but that's the beauty of going back the way it was, we have the shop and electronics classes but also implement the liability policies: "if you lop your finger off, it's because you didn't heed the the instructors safety guidelines, and it's your own damn fault, you stupid slacker. Assume Responsibility".
We didn't have A.D.D. then either, a smack upside the head nipped such a developing condition in the bud.
yeah, it's still a touch screen. instead of touching UI with a finger, you have to touch it with *your fucking brain*. and it's sharp and pointy and stabs its way in too. big improvement. how about a car jack I have to operate with my scrotum?
there was a web site that covered asian pictograph tattoos, short version that to chinese/japanese/korean people those tattoos read like they were written by schoolchildren, psychos, 'tards, or criminals.
you can check it out in the WayBack machine, pick a time snapshot:

but the lion's share are within +/- 4 inches of "standard gauge" a.k.a "international gauge"
two-thirds the rails on the planet are standard gauge. most of the rest are damn close.

C is really redundant, and you have an ING in there. might as well add O so we can express negation.
A: Fuking A!
B. Fuk?
A. Fuk!
B: FuuuuK? Go FuK! No Fuking A!
A: Fuk!

what, no Windows ME or Windows CE support? now that's not very cross-platform at all, is it?
wrong, the U.S.A. is being transformed into a cheap labor hellhole right before your eyes.

And no, I am not joking.

in the USA there are more males than females until the 45-49 age bracket where it's even, then more females for all older age brackets
sad news, well, unless you like munching really really old rug and porking some loose saggy beef-curtains.....
