MasterDuke so because the moarvm backend for nqp always uses nqp::serializetobuf, we never get past github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/blob/main...ion.c#L930 and the base64 code is never called 14:20
but i don't know if nqp/rakudo would ever want to use nqp::serialize 14:21
so do we have to keep it, or can it be removed?
jnthn, nine: ^^^? 14:22
jnthn .tell MasterDuke it's likely that the original base64 path was left in there for bootstrap reasons (e.g. for a while both ways needed to work), and then removal later never happened 18:07
tellable6 jnthn, I'll pass your message to MasterDuke

MasterDuke github.com/Raku/nqp/commit/a5b4e2d...afd26262a2 is very relevant 18:33
