Can Object === Object be actual deep equality?

[greysonevins]

I must be the first person to care enough about this but, can we change someObject === anotherObject to check the object keys and values instead of checking the memory allocation of it.

Hey, thanks for opening an issue :]

No, and that is defined by the JavaScript language and ECMAScript specification and not by Node.js

This is 100% impossible for Node.js to do without breaking the whole ecosystem.

If you feel strongly about this I recommend you spend time contributing to proposals to improve JavaScript itself with this sort of capability like the record/tuple proposal which aims to add this capability to the language.

Edit: here is how to contribute to a TC39 proposal

Note that in Node.js you can use require('util').isDeepStrictEqual(someObject, anotherObject) for that.
