> I thought that rustc was boostrapped from the old c based compiler(allowing you to build clean from source) What's with all the baseless assumptions of the initial Rust compiler being written in either C or C++ in this thread?

Believe it or not, you can write a compiler in any (general purpose) programming language! Amazing, I know.
