Why the odd one?

D has been replacing the C++ code with D, .NET made a major reboot with Rosyln where VB.NET and C# got bootstraped (F# was already bootstrapped), OCaml and Haskell have only the runtime in C due to convinience with everything else bootstraped, FreePascal is bootstraped, OpenJDK has the long term goal of replacing C++ with Java/Graal, Jikes was bootstraped in Java, ...




You are misunderstanding me. I don't have problems with the fact that Rust is bootstrapped, but with the high rate this bootstrapping is happening. That a 12 week old compiler is already considered as too old to compile the newest rustc. This seems wrong.


Ah, yes that is indeed a bit too much.

I also agree an yearly baseline would be much better.
