It's not too different from having a C compiler written in C. Once you bootstrap[1] the first version, you can create subsequent versions from the first one. [

- drewrv 8y agoSure I get that. It's just visually I know that when I'm taking screenshots of app windows, and I have said windows open, I confuse myself sometimes. If I were trying to mockup a mockup app I'd want to use a different, visually distinct, tool.
- mehblahwhatevs 8y agoYea but be careful, I checked out coffeescript years ago (technically a "transpile" to JS). I changed the language then built a new compiler with it. However I apparently added some error in the language and the compiler was then broken, so I couldn't make my fix and re-transpile without checking out a clean version of the repo :D
