You mean, audit a large number of independently-written Go compilers?



Nicely done. To be fair though, Go is just 6 years old and still evolving.


Exactly. Which is why I think it's important to keep the option of compiling its compiler from a language which has a large diversity of compilers.


I don't believe it has been tried yet, but it seems entirely possible to use gccgo as the bootstrap compiler.
