Notable exceptions: Some popular languages are not self-hosted,
for example Clojure. Languages also have runtimes, which may be
written in something else (e.g. Haskell -> C runtime)
* How to help:
Most of this advice is about reproducible builds, not bootstrapping,
as that is a much harder project.
- fix reproducibility issues listed in Debian's issue tracker (focus
on non-Debian specific ones though)
- experiment with NixOS / GuixSD to get a better grasp on the
problem space of reproducibility
If you want to contribute to bootstrapping, look at
bootstrappable.org and their wiki. Several initiatives such as MES
could need help!
