Rust compiler written in Rust). Usually, a language is made available on a
new processor architecture by cross-compiling its compiler to it, but if
that option is not available, bootstrapping is needed.
-In case of ordinary software, bootstrapping means not only compiling the program itself but also compiling/bootstrapping all of its software [[dependecies|dependency]] from the lowest level, including the [[operating system|operating systems]]. The amount of computing resources (especially storage space and computing time) required for bootstrapping can be used to measure **bootstrap complexity**.

Binary executables compiled for simple [[virtual machine]]s can be used to
help bootstrapping. A good idea might be to have a simple, easily
