He actually spent time to write that bullshit? I really hate articles that offense their readers.
All these people he mentions were lead to create something out of need or by a strike of genious, and I don't see this guy getting either of both.
Unicode is not a luxury, is a need.
Supported or not by Arc at this version or in the future, is another issue and if the community needs it, a totally another one.
But leaving a language without builtin support for Unicode, its destiny not far should it be from ending up like what is to day to writting C++ in Windows, which is a tottally NIGHTMARE to handle strings as there more than 10 different types.
I don't think anybody attacked Arc or its creatos by stating their "dumb" needs!
