I love when something is technically written in itself. Look at GCC (C compilator) - it is written in itself (although it was written in Assembly in the beginning). It just feels like a great feedback loop.

    That's is actually pretty common for programming languages. You first write a minimal compiler in some other language that only implements the features necessary to compile the full version, written in its own language, then you use the full compiler to recompile itself.
