>Currently lone is a single C source file.

Is there a plan to write a lone compiler so as to eventually have lone bootstrapping/compiling itself so that you no longer have to sully your hands with C?




I would like that. I wanted to create the simplest possible reference C implementation first so the language can always be bootstrapped with a C compiler. After that, I'll probably make a better one. I'm considering a Rust implementation as well.

At least that's what I tell myself. Just this simple interpreter has already generated a lifetime of work. It's making me wish I had infinite time to work on it.


You don't have to; you get to! ;D


Hey some people like debasing themselves with C; I'm not gonna kink-shame.
