 raitobezarius | that's probably the healthiest thing to pursue | 12:25:22 |
 Qyriad | We::Osiria would be in favor of allowing attrsets to define their own equality comparators to be used regardless of the presence of functions | 12:25:42 |
 niko ⚡️ | I think properly specifying what constitutes “same instance of a function” would also be feasible, because importing the same file twice (or instantiating the same function twice?) to me doesn’t seem like it should result in the same pointer, just based on vibes | 12:25:55 |
| Qyriad | __eq but like. hopefully less cursed | 12:25:55 |
| raitobezarius | well it is very related to the concept of maximal sharing | 12:26:21 |
| raitobezarius | https://wiki.lix.systems/books/lix-contributors/page/pointer-equality | 12:26:25 |
| 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 |
