Hi all
What is the current and future status of UTF8 vs UTF-16 in the haskell world?
I understand that currently Text uses UTF-16, and it is used generally because of compatibility requirements in the Microsoft ecosystem, but that there are movements afoot to move to a UTF8 only environment at some unspecified future point.
The question arises as I ponder a pull request on haskell-lsp to switch to a UTF-16 based library[1]
