Comment #52 on issue 90 by [email protected]: V8 doesn't stable sort
https://code.google.com/p/v8/issues/detail?id=90
Speaking in programming parables, you make a function that reads input and
returns output. Function that does not read anything but its input,
especially does nothing random nor time dependent. So you expect given
function to return exactly the same output for given input. You do
repeated tests at all available platforms and all seems well. Then you
make input just slightly bigger and one certain environments begins to
behave stochastically. I assume we all could agree that in general this is
not good.
But parables aside, I think that V8 devs made clear statement:
(paraphrasing:) "Unless you convince ECMA board to change volatility
regarding stable sort in next version of ECMAscript standard, don't bother
us, we are covered and we are pushing performance here. Interoperability
is not our concern."
Then well, ECMA is said to value consensus highly (and I think we have one
pretty consensus here) so this might be a possibility.
