Production is the rate, per year.
Is it? Well, given last year's 'shit', there should be another four this year, yes?

I really want to see a C compiler written in shell.
Now can we unsee it?

It isn't a good idea for a production system or anything, but the code itself seems pretty clean. I've seen infinitely worse bash scripts than this compiler.

I wonder if it's good enough to bootstrap better and better compilers until you can build full on GCC?
Here's a couple of projects along those lines. https://bootstrappable.org/projects/mes.html
> Mes aims to create an entirely source-based bootstrapping path.
https://savannah.nongnu.org/projects/stage0/
> A class of minimal bootstrap binaries that has a reproducible build on all platforms. Providing a verifiable base for defeating the trusting trust attack.
(and comments at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20264848 ).
I know about 'shit' (== Shell Git) at https://git.sr.ht/~sircmpwn/shit from last year.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git#Implementations lists JGit (<=2012), Go-git (2015), Dulwich (2008), libgit2 (<=2010), and JS-Git (<=2013).
A five-fold increase means at least 30 new implementations. :)
