Bootstrapping is such an odd concept. Like, something that's self propagating is in a sense not fully reproducible and holonomic, unless you maintain the original non-bootstrapped version which would add tons of work. A compiler bug could put a bug in the compiler and propagate itself indefinitely. An implementation in some other languages that has an implementation in C means you could theoretically start from ASM and rebuild.
