Hi,
I stumbled across the "ICU - International Components for Unicode" website:
http://site.icu-project.org/
https://github.com/unicode-org/icu
There's a list of programming languages using the ICU libraries here:
http://site.icu-project.org/related
Should Raku be added to the list above?
I se
I'm not sure myself, but my first guess would be probably not...I
*think* Raku is doing it's own Unicode thing, and isn't using any
system ICU libraries (but I'm willing to stand corrected on that).
As far as perl (the-language-formerly-known-as-perl5) is concerned:

Thanks, yes I was just reading through that. It makes it clear that
the "Unicode Character Database" is built-in to the MoarVM, but I'm
not that clear what the ICU libraries do for you, and I thought there
might be some
Hello,
Since I upgraded to the last Rakudo I'am having a weird problem. I have a
module like this:
unit class Class1;
etc.
Then a second module:
unit class Class2;
use Class1;
etc.
In a program I need both modules, so it begins with two lines:
use Class1;
use Class2;
etc.
At this point if I
Feels like a regression worthy of a Rakudo issue

Thanks everyone for the replies. I guess the two questions I have
pertain mainly to 1) lineage and 2) versioning:
Regarding lineage, I'm interested in knowing if
Pugs/Parrot/Niecza/STD/Perlito/viv/JVM/Rakudo ever used the ICU
Libraries--even if now that data has been extracted into a Raku-native

I think more to the point is which version of Unicode is supported,
rather than the ICU libraries. It might be worth writing some tests
that check that Raku's unicode handling matches the ICU libraries.

Rakudo does not use ICU
It used to though.
Rakudo used to run on Parrot.
Parrot used ICU for its Unicode features.
(Well maybe the JVM backend does currently, I don't actually know.)
MoarVM just has Unicode as one of its features.
Basically it has something similar to ICU already.
