This is a good thing: these languages and runtimes are indeed much safer, and also much more productive than C. You can even still get the same amount of low-level control with Rust.
How do you bootstrap languages like Rust? Another 'safe' language? What about that one?
Someone somewhere has to be working at the asm level.
- dthul 5y agoBootstrapping and language safety are orthogonal. C is unsafe and still you can't bootstrap it if you don't already have a compiler which can compile your C compiler. According to that logic even assembly is not low level enough because you need an assembler to make a runnable program out of it.
