A compiler can be deterministic in some cases, but not necessarily so. A compiler for natural language cannot be deterministic, for example. It seems you're confusing what a compiler is with implementation details.

Let's get this topic back on track. What is it that you think a compiler does if not take in what you typed out for what you want and use that to generate code?
