@jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place This is what worried me about implementing a language (which I'm currently doing) with full 32bit character support.
There are a large number of glyphs among all the character sets of the world, which are extremely hard or impossible to distinguish by eye, and the potential for confusion is enormous.

@simon_brooke@mastodon.scot @jjacobsson@mastodon.gamedev.place that's really not actually something to actually worry about tbh i believe some code editors now have the ability to highlight unexpected non-ascii characters and this screenshot occasionally resurfaces because it's funny but it really was just one guy doing something absurd 9+ years ago and not much more, very few people abuse unicode identifiers for this kind of thing
