In every Turing-Complete language, is it possible to create a working
Compiler for itself which first runs on an interpreter written in some other language and then compiles it's own source code? (Bootstrapping)
Standards-Compilant C++ compiler which outputs binaries for, e.g.: Windows?
Regex Parser and Evaluater?
World of Warcraft clone? (Assuming the language gets the necessary API bindings as, for example, OpenGL and the WoW source code is available)
(Everything here theoretical)
Let's take Brainf*ck as an example language.
