I don't think that has ever happened. Python hash codes differ from
version to version and from OS to OS. Jython has a completely
different hashing function from CPython, even for strings. Keep in
mind that hash tables are one of two core data structures in Python,
so if code could sanely depend on iteration order, it would.
Is this comparable with JS? Interop on the web is a harsh mistress. The
C-Python vs. IronPython vs. PyPy vs. etc. situation is more of a
"porting model" with one-way forks.
Mark Miller is holding up the argument for determinism really well.
I'm not sure anyone disagrees with his points. We should look into
deterministic data structures and measure the performance.
Agreed.
