⭐️ Proposed change

Every self respecting programming language eventually re-writes its compiler to use its own language, also called as bootstrapping.

🤔 Rationale

Dog fooding (finding all bugs!) and proof that the language is solid and production ready.

🕺Example

See Wikipedia, List of languages having self-hosting compilers.
