        @q66 @eloy You're joking but there's a guy who's seriously running a programming ecosystem (somewhere half way to Temple OS) on the credo that everything is a 32-bit value (including bytes), or "equivalently" UCS-4, and I think he's effectively there. (It's just that the CPU he runs on chooses to always lug around two pointless trailing zero bits in all pointers 🤷).
