Re:Go 1.3+ Compiler Overhaul by acqq on Thursday December 19, 2013 @06:55AM (#6934097)
So the current state is: Rust is developed in Rust. Go is still developed in C, but they plan to gradually change that.

So it's Go which still doesn't eat its own dogfood. I always wondered why Go was never functional enough to be used in a lot of the scenarios where C is used. With all the details, it's more clear now.

The whole Go standard library, which is more code than just a compiler (and it even includes a complete Go AST parser as well), is developed in Go ("dogfooded") and so are the documentation tools (godoc, the web site, present) and the static code analysis tools (SSA, oracle, go/types etc.) in the go.tools repository.
