I guess some languages are not meant to be used to write compilers. I a certain way it would make sense to not try to self-host your language at all prices. If you do, you may end up adding features that are outside the original philosophy. I feel that we already have enough universal, system languages. Thus, languages that try to tackle very specific problems seem more useful to me.
