Ask HN: Help me find an article comparing language bootstrapping?
1 point by jhardy54 on July 19, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
A few months ago I found a webpage that compared languages (C, C++, D, Rust, Zig, etc) on some metric that I can't find or remember.

It had to do with building the toolchain from scratch with no binaries, cross-compiling, or some similar metric that looked at the toolchains and how likely they were to continue working for the next 50 years or something. I think it was a personal website with a table comparing the languages.

Anyone have the link I'm looking for? It's driving me crazy trying to find it!
