Hey,
I can't find any recent discussion in this mailing list on this topic, i
think that most close one is
http://grokbase.com/t/php/php-internals/143b6aevsp/unicode-strings. I
was also reading papers like that:
http://www.infoworld.com/article/2618358/application-development/php-5-4-emerges-from-the-collapse-of-php-6-0.html
Latter is referring to difficulties like "excess memory usage" and
"rewrite the language". I'm developing an open-source Unicode
implementation library (nunicode), and it doesn't consume any heap at
all, it also works on native binary strings, as PHP does. Hence i thinks
that maybe it could help with at least these two problems.
But i hardly understand if my work is even applicable here. My library
is a rather pragmatic implementation, it's conformant to Unicode 7.0 and
ISO/IEC 14651, but it does not implement the whole Unicode specification.
I would appreciate if someone would point me to a good read or explain
collective opinion on this topic. I'm basically interested in the
following questions:
1. Is there a need for more Unicode support in PHP?
2. What is currently missing in that regard?
3. Is this a good place to ask such questions?
Thanks.
