[$] Trojan Source and Python
The Trojan Source vulnerabilities have beenrippling through various developmentcommunities since their disclosure on November 1. The oddities that can arise when handling Unicode, andbidirectional Unicode in particular, in a programming language have led Rust, forexample, to check forthe problematic code points in strings and comments and, by default,refuse to compile if they are present. Python has chosen a different path,but work is underway to help inform programmers of the kinds of pitfalls thatTrojan Source has highlighted.
