- lrvick 1y agoHere is some background on the Haskell situation: https://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/802-More_thoughts_on_a_bootstrappable_GHC https://www.joachim-breitner.de/blog/802-More_thoughts_on_a_... Ada has had even less progress and I am not aware of any writeups. TL;DR: Ada and Haskell need to have compilers implemented a language that has a full source bootstrap path such as C, Go, or Rust that implement just enough features to compile the official compilers.
- elbear 1y agoJust curious, are C, Go and Rust and the only viabile languages for an implementation?
