 raitobezarius | i explained a bunch of things there | 12:26:28 |
| raitobezarius | from what I gathered | 12:26:31 |
| raitobezarius | the import machinery not caching things for example would break maximal sharing | 12:26:46 |
 Qyriad | It's because imports are cached.
nix-repl> (scopedImport { } <nixpkgs/lib>).recursiveUpdate == (scopedImport { } <nixpkgs/lib>).recursiveUpdate
false
nix-repl> (scopedImport { } <nixpkgs/lib>).recursiveUpdate == (import <nixpkgs/lib>).recursiveUpdate
false
| 12:27:15 |
| Qyriad | scopedImport disables that caching | 12:27:24 |
| raitobezarius | yeah, it feels like a nixlang2 thing | 12:27:53 |
| raitobezarius | not a fan of special meaning attributes | 12:28:10 |
| Qyriad | We would be in favor of something more metatable-flavored over magic attributes | 12:28:37 |
| raitobezarius | how would that look like? | 12:29:38 |
| raitobezarius | setMetaAttributes attrs { __eq = x; } ? | 12:30:00 |
| Qyriad | Yeah something like that | 12:30:14 |
| Qyriad | Which would return a new attrset obvi, not mutate | 12:30:23 |
| raitobezarius | ye | 12:30:32 |
 K900 | Y'all are actualyl just going to reinvent metatables aren't you | 12:30:43 |
| K900 | * Y'all are actually just going to reinvent metatables aren't you | 12:30:46 |
| raitobezarius | lua arc for lix letsgo | 12:30:57 |
| raitobezarius | personally idk yet | 12:31:12 |
| raitobezarius | the idea is interesting for sure | 12:31:16 |
| raitobezarius | and would provide a very nice way to escape from the funext mess | 12:31:25 |
| Qyriad | It 110% needs like, to be very well thought out so we don't trap ourselves, but we do think something in that direction is the right direction for Lix | 12:32:36 |
| K900 | I mean honestly I don't mind metatables | 12:33:07 |
| K900 | I do mind the rest of Lua | 12:33:12 |
| Qyriad | Same | 12:33:13 |
| K900 | But metatables are fine | 12:33:16 |
