> It's funny/interesting that an 1kloc implementation of minimal self hosting Go exist Does it? That's not the technique Go introduced, they started by rebuilding Go from earlier versions written in C - but in fact the bootstrapping process may change soon, see https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44505 https://github.com/golang/go/issues/44505
