It's not sarcasm. We've all accepted that code-generation has been required and accepted for decades.

  Code generation (by compiler) has one major difference: it's deterministic.

    Here are the reported miscompilation bugs in GCC so far in 2026. The ones labeled "wrong-code". https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?chfield=%5BBug%20cr https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?chfield=%5BBug%20cr I count 500+ of them.

      Not sure what your point is here since wrong code doesn't mean non-deterministic. How many of these yield different results with the same input and architecture?

      That's not what "deterministic" means.
