Hi. Here is news relevant for bootstrappable project: 10 days ago the
Zig project announced they deleted their bootstrap C++ compiler:
https://ziglang.org/news/goodbye-cpp/ . Now they bootstrap everything
from webassembly binary. The author acknowledges that now it is hard
to bootstrap from human-written sources, but (unfortunately) says he
is not planning to change the situation. He says that anybody
interested may create an alternate compiler (written, say, in C++)
