@mjg59 agreed entirely! and I'm in favour of that. But that's because it didn't really need to be; all previous compilable languages had the property that even if you didn't have the compiler, you could work out how the compiler *worked*, and therefore in a pinch could write your own. (A lot of work, but doable.) But with this, you don't know how to build the compiler, and the source code is not enough by itself to build the program.
