<Profpatsch> error: noo
<Profpatsch> can … we fix that
<Profpatsch> > let val = "${throw "noo"}"; in builtins.isAttrs val
<{^_^}> noo
<infinisil> well it evaluates the string to whnf before trying to determine its type, which evaluates all interpolations
<infinisil> I guess we could have some type inference that doesn't have to evaluate as much though
<infinisil> But not sure how useful that would be

Dotz0cat has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
<niksnut> yes, I think this is the "correct" behaviour
<Profpatsch> I don’t feel like having to run all interpolations just to find out whether something is a string is a good idea
<Profpatsch> e.g. the string could be fairly large, or the interpolations contain IfD
<Profpatsch> (the latter is specifically what I stumbled over)
<__monty__> Can interpolations turn a string into anything else?
<niksnut> I mean, it's a dynamically typed language, so we don't know it's a string until we evaluate it
<niksnut> and strings are not lazy
sterni has joined #nix-lang
<Profpatsch> but you know it’s string once you reach the string constructor right
<niksnut> yes but the string is constructed after throw "noo"
