@koakuma@uwu.social @chjara@akko.tuxcrafting.xyz I don't see the problem this is trying to solve. Computers can already render "Basic" Arabic in a "readable but with some annoying corner cases" manner. All this does is annoy more people for no reason at all.

See also the history of the printing press and Arabic.

And that script definitely fall under this pattern :akkoderp: 

> when the machine cannot do the script, simplify the script, ship it, and call it progress.
