I'd encourage you to write a smaller implementation for bootstrap of Virgil in a couple of other languages, so that folks who don't trust binaries can still use your language.
The Bootstrappable Builds folks are working on this for every part of a modern Linux distro. The main approaches are alternative smaller implementations written in other languages (including interpreters) and also compiling with chains of older versions that were written in other languages. They are also working on a full bootstrap from ~512 bytes of machine code plus a ton of source all the way up to a full Linux distro. They have gotten quite far in that and are continually improving the situation everywhere.
