@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusnot even that, right?18:50:53
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusin the current semantics, people can manipulate Nix to observe very specific details of the impl18:51:04
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusif the same people change the interpreter innards and cause these observations to go wrong18:51:25
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariuswhat are the eval stability expectations we should offer here?18:51:35
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezarius a real == for fns will make more things true, hence, if you rely on false-y values somewhere in your magic code, then we will destroy the stability as well here 18:52:01
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusthe best thing i can muster/do is to take real world examples and analyze how much we are breaking vs. keeping working18:52:15
@winter:catgirl.cloudWinter no it's a shell script now 18:52:21
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusi'm happy to do crater-style runs for that18:52:22
@winter:catgirl.cloudWinterso i guess that was when it was in C++18:52:29
@raitobezarius:matrix.orgraitobezariusaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah18:52:30
@winter:catgirl.cloudWinterfor god knows what reason18:52:32
