StableValue and non-deterministic iteration order

[Kevin Bourrillion]

Just as a corroborating data point, it’s banned at my previous company too, and this is a big reason why. Deterministic iteration is a very good thing. (Personal opinion: I’ve come to view non-deterministic iteration as a risky optimization in general, that is usually not called for.)

In summary, the current Map.of() is a bit of a hand grenade IMO, and
something I pretty much banned at my previous company. Which is a
problem given its key role in StableValue.
