A language that did not change in the last 20 years is dead, plain and simple.
Lets just look at strings, which is also one of the reasons driving the breaking change between Python 2 and 3. Back in the 90's it was ok to just take them as arrays of C chars. But nowadays you'd be totally crazy to not use unicode as the base implementation of strings. There are still languages around that only support unicode with bolted-on libraries, but thats just the smell of rotten flesh. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
