[Question] Determinism of the F# Compiler #1042

@0x53A

Description

@0x53A

The Roslyn team has made an effort to make the C# / VB compilers deterministic: dotnet/roslyn#372

This is interesting both for security (validating that an exe was built by the source someone claims it was built from) and for the build performance itself (only rebuilding things that changed).

According to this ominous tweet, it looks like Microsoft itself is building a deterministic & distributed build system: https://twitter.com/xjoeduffyx/status/686785616030240768 (Does anyone know anything about that? It is already April =) )

Are there any plans to make the F# compiler deterministic?
