D has a C compiler built-in now, I wonder if we could bootstrap all the toolchain now.

- ByteJockey 5y agoDon't most toolchains have a rather large C++ component? Just parsing C++ is a rather large undertaking (my understanding is that it's syntax is turing complete).
- mhh__ 5y agoSo you start with a C++ compiler written in C. Hence bootstrap, rather than compile from source.
- ByteJockey 5y agoOh, gotcha. Sorry, brain wasn't parsing right before the coffee today.
