No one has an OCaml compiler. If I'm going to write a compiler, I'm going to
write it in Java 7, even if the language is Java 7, because evenone has a Java 7 compiler.
I'm not going to use an older language just because it is older, I'm going
to use the least common language. On they that could be Rust, and then, the
it would be OK to write a rust compiler in Rust.
