I think a macro solves the problem where (is 0 0.0) returns nil. I think the reason they are not equal has something to do with precision and the representation of 0 versus 0.0.
;allows equivalent ints to be equal.
;i.e 0 = 0.0, 1 = 1.000000, etc.
(mac == (a b)
`(if (and (is (type ,a) 'int)
(is (type ,b) 'int))
(is (+ ,a 0.0) (+ ,b 0.0))
(is ,a ,b)))
produces
arc> (== 0 0.0)
t
arc> (== 123 123.00)
t
arc> (== "a" "a")
t
arc> (== "a" "b")
nil
arc> (== 1 9)
nil
arc> (== 1 1.00000001)
nil
Interesting quirk. Glad I know that (is a b) may not always work.
