I have elaborate specific fantasies about travelling back in time to 1970 and saving computing from itself

1. Find Dennis Ritchie. Explain to him about how memory safety is going to kill us. Put Rust style unsafe { } in early C.
2. Make IPv4 addresses wider out of the gate. Prevent NAT from being invented.
3. In-band signalling for terminals via ANSI escape codes? NO! OUT OF BAND SIGNALLING. DON'T BE RIDICULOUS.

DEAR GOD, DON'T LET WINDOWS REWRITE ITSELF AROUND UCS-16 IN THE BELIEF THAT 65535 CODEPOINTS OUGHT TO BE ENOUGH FOR ANYBODY.

JUST GO STRAIGHT TO UTF-8 AND FUCK OFF WITH THIS WCHAR BULLSHIT

UCS-2, whatever, fuck off.

The word I wrote is a hideous conglomeration of UTF-16 and UCS-2 because that's what the Windows kernel is.
