I might have seen that Bootstrapping Rust article, how interesting. I've been curious about Guix for a while, one of these days I need to dive in and explore deeper. I really enjoyed their article on full-source bootstrap, it's relevant now more than ever.

But what about platforms that even GCC doesn't support well? I'm thinking mostly retro stuff like 16-bit x86.
