This might be a stupid question, but was this a deliberate decision made by the language designers? If so, why?
Back in my day you could compare two values of the same enum type and expect a reasonable answer.pic.twitter.com/rrVO5cRrGK

I think it has to do with the fact that the enum doesn’t have a raw value type (like Int) and/or the fact that some of its values have associated values. It would be possible to generate a sensible equality operator automatically, but Swift doesn’t.

Ah. The compiler notes that “binary operator '==' cannot be synthesized for enums with associated values”. That’s unfortunate, and seems silly in this case, but so it goes.
