Hey, I'm one of the dev's; I do definitely agree with you, while bootstrapping isn't always the best idea and it does take forever, we are doing it for a really simple reason, the project was initially a passion project by me, and then A few friends wanted to jump-in as well and make it a fully fledged thing, so we thought it would be a good idea for me to get the bootstrap compiler completed before moving on to the main compiler, So my bootstrap compiler right now works, its not the best tho riddled with bugs and problems; but its enough to write a compiler with. As to the taper off, We all are working summer internships right now, so the development is definitely slowed down a little, but, we are working on it, albeit slowly for the time-being, but the bootstrap endeavor, isn't causing a stop but rather a slow down also paired with the summer internship, it will pick up back to speed once college starts in Fall... Our timeline for a early working alpha with the bootstrap is Q1 2026 (or Q2) but no later. P.S A reason why only I mainly wrote the initial compiler, and also we decided to make a new compiler is since this was a passion project, the code wasn't maintainable AT ALL, I didn't plan on anyone else working on it, the code is really bug prone C++, a lot of lines of code that make 0 sense, and no structure in the codebase. The new compiler however, we are properly structuring it, documenting it, following code guidelines, and working on it as a team as opposed to 1 man writing all the code and the rest of the team only stating ideas.
