Is this true? I can see how enumeration and size would leak the GC schedule, but to test has or contains, you need a strong ref, which means the key or value cannot yet be garbage. If you have the capability, there's no non-determinism. What am I missing?

Yes!

The set of values actually contained by the WeakMap at any moment is non-deterministic, depending on the scheduling of gc. But this non-determinism is non-observable. WeakMap.contains would make it observable.


yup
