Re: Will Lua kernel use Unicode in the future?

[Asko Kauppi <askok@...>]

Lua definately is a 21st century language, and all for global access  
if anything. :)

But, it's also conservative in the approach to "extensions" as we all  
know.  I had this UTF-8 issue a while back with LuaX, and there  
wasn't much needed to be changed in the core (if any?) to get me  
pleased there. Follow the wiki information provided here during the  
thread, and look for the Selene package (that's what I used, but the  
details are in the dustbin).

I think many of the people are using Lua, with UTF-8, daily without  
having major problems, am I right?
