 emily | other reasons comparing names separately makes more sense:
- consistent with lists,
[ abort abort ] != [ abort ] compares lengths before values already, and list lengths are analogous to attrset key sets
- indeed the interleaving version can't legitimately even short-circuit on the number of names without complicating semantics because of
{ a = abort; } != { b = abort; c = abort; } -- whereas if you compare names first, you can legitimately do that short circuit because attr name set comparison happens before any thunks are forced

| emily | I'll put a summary of this up on the Nix PR in a few hours since this is getting verbose :) | 15:49:55 |
| emily | but I firmly believe attrNames set1 == attrNames set2 && attrValues set1 == attrValues set2 is the right semantics on both practical and theoretical grounds (and we should fix anywhere Nixpkgs still relies on pointer equality dodging type errors/aborts/throws/infinite loops and then move towards not doing that by default) | 15:51:51 |
