Professor Brailsford uses T-diagrams to explain how self-compiling compilers are bootstrapped and built.

Using T-Diagrams, Professor Brailsford shows us how to take our compiler to the next level.

What people say. Recommended as a clear explanation of compiler bootstrapping when discussing how languages compile themselves.

Yes, the same way you can compile the C compiler using the C compiler which was compiled by the LLVM compiler. That's called bootstrapping, computerphile made a video on this: link to this video
