Do you have any big applications written in Lazarus? If you had, how happy would you be having to convert them from utf-8 to utf-16?
I never voted for a UTF-16 - Lazarus.
In fact I have lots of applications done in Delphi < 2009 and thus not Unicode aware at all but using just 8 bit "fixed locale" ANSI encoded strings.
I was happily converting some of those to the pre-Unicode of Lazarus (for having them run on Linux).
I was not at all happy trying to convert them to the "always UTF-8" version of Lazarus.
I am sure that I will not be more happy trying to convert them to a hypothetical "always UTF-16" version of Lazarus.
I have no idea how happy I would be trying to convert them to a Unicode aware Delphi version > 2009.
And of course I have no idea at all how happy I would be trying to convert them to an upcoming "new Delphi String" version of Lazarus.
