This is not true. My students from the 2nd year of engineering learned
alone how to use UTF-8 properly.
That is exactly what I meant to say. Those who do learn how to deal with
Unicode might be very happy to keep in mind the Unicode encoding with
all string operations.
And if your opinion is that everybody, who wants to program with
Lazarus, is happy when he also learns the ways of Unicode, I will not
contradict.
But IMHO Lazarus should be (at least) as easy to use as Java and friends
and not provide additional traps for the Unicode-illiterates.
(I once proposed to drop the support for myString[i] or for the "char"
type altogether to prevent some of these traps, but supposedly this is a
silly idea.)
