The creator is explicitly against a self-hosted compiler, for better or worse.
- gingerBill 4y agoI'm not against self-hosting. To quote the FAQ (https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/#is-the-odin-compiler-self-hosted https://odin-lang.org/docs/faq/#is-the-odin-compiler-self-ho...): > Odin is not currently self hosted nor will be until after version 1.0 when the main implementation of the Odin compiler adheres to a specification and is heavily tested. In general, self hosting before a stable language and compiler exists is masturbatory pleasure.
- Jtsummers 4y agoJust a heads up: Be careful posting two nearly identical comments so close together. They both ended up marked "[dead]". HN's filters catch things like that and may auto-kill them.
- gingerBill 4y agoThank you for that. I rarely use HackerNews and I was just trying to clarify my own position.
