    But how far should that be taken should 8 == 8 return false because one is an unsigned int and the other is signed? Or 0.0 == 0.0 where they are floats and doubles? You can make a case for those due to a strong type system but it would go against most peoples idea of what equality is.

      If bits aren’t same then i dont want it to tell me they are the same. And python just has one implementation for int and float.

      I like python cos everything’s an object i dont want different types of objects to evaluate the same they are fundamentally different objects is that not what u would expect?
