It's interesting to me how often people cite "Unicode in code" as some sort of amazing thing. I once posted on S.O. about the idea that maybe we should have a programming language where the vast array of options in Unicode were exploited to make things like Regular Expressions more readable (avoiding the backslash plague alone would be worth it).
I got smacked down by people complaining that they didn't know how to type anything but ASCII.
Jokes tend to get downvoted on HN and there's been a few (to many) jokes in this HN post :( Your's the only one I didn't downvote because decided to leave a comment instead.

Sigh.
