Question to help me shape some upcoming threads:
Say I'm bootstrapping from an assembly language to a (relatively) high-level language, without using any software I didn't write myself?
Any tips?
(I won't actually do this, I'll just describe how in detail!)
@alcinnz what do you mean "any software I didn't write myself"? You wrote the compiler and stuff for the high-level language?
Is this relevant? Seems like the right direction but it's software written by everyone

@djm62 I'll describe how I would!
Yes, that link could be handy!
