I agree. So if people are hearing it and demonstrating it with decibel readers then there’s probably little to no sound dampening.

It could be but also datacenters are ridiculously loud and the sound is very high pitched. Would drive anyone nuts if they could hear it.

I cannot read. Even better.

The lack of a return type declaration makes this sooo good.

In cases where something looks stupid but your knowledge on it is almost zero it’s entirely possible that it’s not.

The people that maintain Unicode have put a lot of thought and effort into this. Might be helpful to research why rather than assuming you have a better way despite little knowledge of the subject.
