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? On 3/11/06, Adam Megacz wrote:

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