JavaScript Evangelism Ends the Kidnapping

Description

The meme shows a cartoon character being thrown out through a broken window into a house, with shards of glass flying. The top caption reads, "My kidnappers returning me home after I talk to them about JAVASCRIPT for three hours," with "JAVASCRIPT" emphasized in bold block lettering. The humor exaggerates the stereotype of developers who can talk endlessly about JavaScript, its ecosystem, and its opinions until even captors give up. It is less about JavaScript syntax itself and more about language evangelism, tech tribalism, and the social exhaustion caused by toolchain monologues.

Someone's kidnapping you? Just say "utf and unicode in c/c++", they shall speed away.

  Use UTF-8 encoding — it can be safely handled by regular (non-multibyte) string functions most of the time, when you don't need to analyze particular characters.
