Hi, folks.
TLDR, was the final decision made already?
If "dict keeps insertion order" is not language spec and we
continue to recommend people to use OrderedDict to keep
order, I want to optimize OrderedDict for creation/iteration
and memory usage. (See https://bugs.python.org/issue31265#msg301942 )
If dict ordering is language spec, I'll stop the effort and
use remaining time to another optimizations.
My thought is, +1 to make it language spec.
* PHP (PHP 7.2 interpreter is faster than Python) keeps insertion order.
So even we make it language spec, I think we have enough room
to optimize.
* It can make stop discussion like "Does X keeps insertion order?
It's language spec?", "What about Y? Z?". Everything on top of dict
keeps insertion order. It's simple to learn and explain.
