MasterDuke any thoughts/comments on github.com/MoarVM/MoarVM/pull/1721 ? 18:51
Voldenet backward compatibility always introduces ugly (and stagnated) apis, it's better idea to migrate the old files on load 19:18
it introduces nice feature of making old code slower and slower until it gets migrated to the newer version of the bytecode 19:19
making deprecated things slower is a good thing, because it forces the programmer to look into the issue, but it isn't breaking 19:20
MasterDuke i'll admit i'm not 100% certain of the details around bytecode loading and the implications of (re)using the deprecated slots 19:21
Voldenet the above is just my philosophical approach to the topic, I wish things worked that way 19:30
Geth MoarVM: MasterDuke17++ created pull request #1722:
Use 2-char-at-a-time version of jeaii's itoa
19:46
nine MasterDuke: doesn't matter. We're up to DEPRECATED_115. So those 60s must be quite old already. 19:47
MasterDuke cool 19:48
probably afk for a while, will check back later&
