: It would help if you could name even just one of them, and at least one example that c/would go horribly wrong. I was not aware of any suitable OS APIs for this, perhaps you meant PathCchFindExtension, but that is not capable of solving this task. I would agree that handling strings is much harder than it should be, and quite ridiculously so in most popular (/terrible) programming languages, and via most OS APIs. If some task on rc is not suitable for real-world use, then (like you just have) you need to start a debate on that task's discussion page, and (possibly with a limited few exceptions for complexity or security reasons) try and lick the task into something that '''is''' useful, since comparing programming languages (the whole purpose of this site) for completely unusable tasks is, well, all rather pointless. --[[User:Petelomax|Petelomax]] ([[User talk:Petelomax|talk]]) 15:48, 9 August 2023 (UTC)
