The author is working on a project called Dozer, which involves writing a Rust compiler in pure C to address bootstrapping issues with Rust. They explain the significance of bootstrapping and the complexities involved in the process, tracing the origins of compilers back to their earliest forms. The goal is to make Rust more accessible earlier in the bootstrapping process without relying on C++.

Why am I writing a Rust compiler in C?

Cool. I try to write a C compiler in Rust ;-) (following Nora Sandler’s book “Writing a C Compiler”)

Because C is superior!
Viva la C!!

Big company control most programming language, only C for Freedom and thinker, (edit) Just read the articles, damn. you have good sense as technical author, i learn so much from your article, kind of made my day with small laugh :D
