Why does Swift even need the complexity of accounting for scalar sequences? Why would I ever care about that? Personally I prefer the way javascript does it - it hides the scalar mess because I'll never need to touch it, nor will 99.9% of us

@inorganik They try very hard to be Unicode correct, future-proof, by default. Actually, Swift is the one hiding the scalar "mess" from us ;) To see what I mean, pls check out this WWDC 2017 video around the 28:00 mark. They provide some nice examples of why this matters in practice...
