Sorry for my previous words, they were not argumented. On top of 
that I would not like contributing to the "language war", so let 
me explain:

I just cant stand his position on bootstraping. You see D had the 
same problem. You had to be a C++ programmer to contribute. Dont 
you see not to bootstrap is absurd ? At some point you propose 
something new instead of the old thing, but you have to master 
the old thing to contribute to the new thing.

Just "comon you guys". If you are afraid of the self hosting 
process then just admit that fact and dont pretend that "self 
hosting before a stable language and compiler exists is 
masturbatory pleasure" (I quote).
