It would have been nice to see the compiler implemented in the language itself. I'm a little skeptical of any language that can't be used to compile itself.

- pfusik 5y agoI'd like to rewrite cito to Ć at some point. One problem is that it's written in a fairly recent C#, so either Ć would need to catch up with two decades of C# development or the codebase be downgraded to an older language. And we all use JavaScript NOT implemented in JavaScript. ;)

- williamstein 5y agoThe compiler is implemented in the language itself.
- rodorgas 5y agoIt seems to be written in c#.
- binarynate 5y agoIt’s implemented in C# (e.g. CiParser.cs)
- singularity2001 5y agoOther than being hard to achieve (often being a secondary goal), Julia gives very good reasons why not to strive for this goal: it may influence the language design in undesired ways, e.g. By removing the focus from high-level features to low level system design features
