                            While the language can be hard to get used to, the error messages are mostly great.
                            But sometimes you can send it on a goose chase with impossible type inference.

                              Why do characters like this even exist? I've run into this before where I couldn't find a file I'd downloaded by searching for it. I remembered what folder it was in and checked it was still there, after playing around with the name for a bit I realised the "a" in the file name wasn't actually an a.

                                  Simple answer is that Unicode is a design by committee attempting to make every single human written language work. It's more complicated than it needs to be, but we also don't want to redo all the work it would take to replace it with something more sane. Especially KJC languages. Trying to get those three to agree on anything is for people who deal with frustration better than me.

                                    Since they're fundamentally predicting the next token, and there isn't a lot of training data out there that would actually do this, I wouldn't expect that LLMs are going to start putting in lookalike characters. They only lookalike to humans.

                                    That said, you could probably poison their training datasets this way.

                                      Yeah that was the idea get the llms to start using look alike characters to poison their outputs.

                                          This is pretty cool. But my question is if the compiler knows it’s basically the same thing visually, why doesn’t it treat it the same way as far as syntax and just make them functionally equivalent;
