Compilers aren't deterministic in the ways that people would think matter.

We will have LLM based compilers in the near future. Determinism is a property of the system, not the components.

"near" like never :)

You want to put money on it?

You set the criteria.

Let me know when an LLM compiler is licensed for use on critical infrastructure. Admittedly Java doesn't meet this bar (see "You acknowledge that Licensed Software is not designed or intended for use in the design, construction, operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility" https://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk... )
