Hi,
The only thing stopping Yhc from being self hosting (as far as I know)
is library support. In particular the following libraries are used by
Yhc, but are not yet available with Yhc.
Directory
Data.Map
Data.Set
With all these it is not a fundamental problem that is stopping us,
rather that Data.Map and Data.Set import a large chunk of the
heirarchical libraries. We are slowly working towards this goal of
compiling more libraries with things like a -cpp flag and other
enhancements. Some of the libraries have been done, some remain to be
done.
As far as I am aware, both the compiler and the runtime would support Yhc fine.
Thanks
Neil
PS. And if you want a random estimate, I'd hop with about 2 months :)
Perhaps Tom could give a better guess?

Hey, just wondering how far YHC is from being able to self-host... anybody have an idea?
