yeah but java and ruby and python all suck for that because you have to screw around with dependency management in the first place. in php all you have to do is include what you need

Shaggar posted:theres no reason that the language features from desktop apps cant be used in web apps. ex: replace javascript with byecode, replace html/css with xaml. you write whatever you want and it gets compiled to bytecode that gets sent to the client rather than the client downloading the source and compiling it in realtime which limits your language availability. then replace html + css w/ something like xaml and u've got dynamic UIs that are fed to the user over http. all the benefits of desktop apps, none of the shittyness of js/html/css. this is the grossest post. ugh.

there are 256 characters. many are used for drawing boxes with single/double borders. all the other characters are fake ones made up by some guys in sweden. i'm not saying you can't use the fake characters, just understand that they're technically 2 or more real characters and the computer is pretending they're something else
