doesn't rust have the same problem? I've known this about haskell for ages and I think it's just the new norm ("trust us, bro")


Not anymore. Real pain in the ass to bootstrap but thanks to mrustc combined with our work in stagex we have an easy to audit path now in a 100% bootstrapped distro.

Unfortunately due to no first party support or interest from the Rust team, we have to build through 15+ versions to get to latest and it takes 6+ hours to build with a 20+ core system, but it works.
