You know, sometimes I get the feeling the compiler simply ignores all my comments đŸ¤”

@fribbledom The TOML standard demands that invalid unicode characters inside comments must cause parse errors.When I wrote a TOML library, I wish I could just make it ignore all the comments.

@shironeko @fribbledom Disallowing invalid unicode characters inside comments does nothing to prevent that attack though—the attack works because the involved characters are valid and have special meanings.

@dmbaturin @fribbledom I mean the class of errors like it. tho think in this case the effect was because the bidirectional control characters used are unbalanced so it would be a invalid unicode sequence? not a unicode expert tho

@wolf480pl @fribbledom the compiler program opens a window. An animation of a round face, looks at you with a friendly concern. "what could we write to put you at ease?""Don't worry, remember, my purpose is to be at your service with no ironic consequences."
