which is baffling to me, because i think bootstrapping is one of the more interesting parts of compiler development.

i had the same experience with the Idris2: i made a full bootstrap chain all the way down from GHC, integrated bootstrapping into the normal build process so that bootstrapping remains constantly tested, and also prepared the Guix side... but then my PR was basically ignored.
