lizmat ShimmerFairy: the #parrot and #parrotsketch logs are now on irclogs.raku.org, courtesy of Moritz Lenz 20:35
I've also added #phasers, #perl6-noise-gang, #rakudosketch and was able to added a lot of logs to some other channels 20:37
I was considering adding #masakism 20:39

[Coke] jeez, I am very talky on day #1 there. 20:42
lizmat :-) 20:43
timo masakism was fun 20:57
lizmat so it's worth making available :-) 21:00
ShimmerFairy lizmat: Thanks, that'll definitely help with figuring out some of MoarVM's earliest design decisions, when needed. I'm just surprised you were able to source any logs so quickly! 21:28
lizmat: just in case it's important, I noticed a corrupted ç in the #parrot logs: irclogs.raku.org/parrot/2008-07-08.html#01:19 Maybe the chatter didn't send it as Unicode text in the first place, but I figured I'd flag it just in case it's a sign of some issue with the log import. 22:02
And I immediately spotted a correct ç on the next line, so yeah that's probably nothing then.
Oh interesting, the parrot logs alerted me to an issue with ICU that appears to still exist, where it doesn't provide built-in support for name aliases. (So a naive port to ICU would break the Raku code `"\c[HIGH OCTET PRESET]"`, for example) 23:00
(Character names are apparently even an open issue in ICU4X, the in-progress "next gen" version of ICU.) 23:01
So that puts a pretty big dent in the idea of switching MoarVM over to ICU for unicode support, since it'd still have to do some of its own work. 23:08
lizmat with raku.land/zef:lizmat/IRC::Log::Perlgeek and a database, it was easy to source the logs 23:19
ShimmerFairy oh neat, didn't know that was a thing 23:26
lizmat well, it wasn't until I got a copy of the database :-) 23:38
ShimmerFairy that would explain my lack of knowledge :) 23:40
