A: Is there a way to cook hot dogs in a microwave without them bursting?

Which is to say, I project that a hot dog will turn into bacon sooner than that feature request is completed. :(

Since everyone's talking about 10M questions on SO, here's a chart: questions per year, only non-deleted ones of course.

For comparison, the same for Mathematics:

So far, there were 20 reports of "Korean character in body" that did not also have "Korean character in title". Of these, 19 were false positives, and one was a self-vandalized post by an unregistered user who tried to delete it. Not a good record.

What I find curious is how often unicode questions correlate with this or that language. i really have to wonder whether this doesn't indicate some sort a design problem. I mean, you don't get many Unicode questions about Go, for example.
I'll cast no aspersions; anyone can draw their own conclusions readily enough.
 
user259867

Python: 3220 of 445373 questions have unicode tag, 0.7%.
Perl: 289 of 46143 questions have unicode tag, 0.6%
 
user259867
C#: 693 of 818088, which is 0.08%
 
user259867
I think it has more to do with what the languages are used for.

I assure you that Perl is used for Unicode one hell of a lot.

I don't have a problem believing that. JavaScript: 526/890976, or 0.05%.
 
tchrist

Hm.
 
user259867

Is there a language with substantially higher percentage than Python/Perl?

Check Java?
 
user259867
Java: 1234/887050, or about 0.14%
 
tchrist
tchrist
See, that doesn't make sense to me.
It hard to do Unicode in Java, harder than those others. (mod JS which is pessimal)
"Hard" is relative, but I have some real experience there to speak from.
 
user259867
Perhaps because of that people don't do it as often as with languages that are better targeted at text processing?
