How would one do things right if there are no examples of comparable quality?

Revisit the recent drama with twisted vs tornado.

By researching independently when given sufficient pointers. I posted a link to Abdul Azziz Ghoulum's paper which shows a full compiler in small baby steps, bootstrapped from the first line!

Research and conference papers are fairly good for learning, almost as good as blog posts.
