Bootstrapping

We are just using a small subset of the language to create a bad compiler for a v0 run. Then we use that bad compiler to compile a slightly larger subset of the language. We can do this multiple times, until a final optimized compiled output is made.

About

I created this blog to monitor my curiosity, writing about concepts that interest me.

I write about personal projects, ideas, and the things I learn along the way. Hand-crafted and LLM-free.

Occasionally, a travel story or food review sneaks in.

If my writing resonates with you, feel free to connect with me at ecdecena [@] gmail.com.

I’m currently based in Cebu City, PH 🏖️.
