--- Comment #229 from Andrew Dunbar <hippytr...@gmail.com> 2011-08-27 10:03:28 UTC --- @Philippe Verdy: I think work on the bigger Unicode problems for JavaScript is pretty important. I tried to file a bug or feature request somewhere a couple of years ago and the sentiment from the js community was that Unicode was too big and unneeded, would bloat js and be too slow. I couldn't convince whoever was my audience that you just need it and in any case the js implememtations should be hooking into Unicode APIs provided by their host OS or browser which must have them anyway. I have implemented some character/script property stuff from Unidata in js and for my purposes found it very fast indeed to do everything with binary search. And all the js implementations are much faster now. I was doing stuff like looking up the script of every character in an HTML page. I've also implemented internationalized sorting including UCA of page titles in en.wiktionary using the toolserver as a back end. All work was done on a first generation netbook (-: You have my support. Is there somewhere I can watch your project perhaps? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list Wikibugs-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
