gollark: Zim also uses off-the-shelf compression (xz, zstd) - should they have developed a custom format for *that* too which might be better for their usecase somehow?
gollark: SQLite is harder to deal with if you're just asking "how do I deal with these raw bytes with no libraries æææææææææ", but this is not actually the case.
gollark: Huh, apparently the full text search has to store its data in fake articles with a weird type set.
gollark: Yes, and?
gollark: This is weird, I can't see any information on how zim stuff has full text search.
