I have a feeling that Apple's unique organizational structure[1] will likely share a lot what Paul is describing as "Founder Mode"

Is there a way to make the font locale sensitive? Half of the planet uses dots instead of commas
kulpreet · 6 years ago
In most cases, you'd want this to be handled at the OS-level by setting your locale preferences to match your region. However, this would require the app to be properly internationalized (using number formatters, etc.) to work correctly.

So you bring up a neat idea. I'm not sure which OSs support it, but OpenType does have a `locale` feature, primarily for glyph variants (ex: same codepoint, but different glyph for Chinese vs. Japanese). I'm guessing it could be abused to accomplish what you want and not require an app to adopt i18n APIs.

As someone who took the replacement 6.01 Intro to EECS, I would have much rather taken 6.001 SICP.

I'm sorry to say, but I feel very strongly about 6.01 being the least useful course I took at MIT.
