From bootstrapping
Welcome to the bootstrapping wiki![[35]edit]
This wiki is about bootstrapping, i.e., building up compilers and
interpreters and tools from nothing.
To use an analogy from the world of food production:
"Recipe for yogurt: Add yogurt to milk." - Anon.
In simple technical terms:
Bootstrapping is about building a compiler using tools smaller than
itself, as opposed to building a compiler using an already built
version of itself. The problem with the second is: Where did that
prebuilt binary come from?
The short sci-fi story [36]Coding Machines (Lawrence Kesteloot, January
2009) has bootstrapping as a theme.
Also see the homepage of [37]the Bootstrappable project, which has
pointers to a mailing list and IRC channel.
