oof. No proper support for IMEs is a huge non-starter for East Asia. Why don't they just use OS standard text renderers like everything before Rust?

Or is Discord planning to implement their own forks of existing IMEs into the app? Don't tell me they are going to just put in a tiny LLM and call it a day...

Windows IMEs used to emulate the style of edit control to display its candidate text, and the guess was frequently wrong. That's hardly a new problem for East Asian.

		What worries me is that there's a general atmosphere that LLMs solved all NLP tasks, despite they don't do so well for kanji pronunciation <-> text mappings, likely for the lack of data - Japanese users especially don't post enough of organic data useful for that, apparently. Discord may be in a "good" spot to be able to (very invasively) collect that data by setting up a keylogger and comparing that to the final user-submitted text, but (aside from all the concerns) I'm not very hopeful about it.
