What is Bootstrapping Compilers Explained about?

Bootstrapping is the process of implementing a programming language by using that same language as the implementation language. This document discusses several possibilities for bootstrapping a Pascal compiler from one machine to another. Specifically, it describes writing a subset of Pascal called P, using P to write the full Pascal compiler, then modifying that compiler to target a new machine. This multi-step process avoids rewriting the compiler from scratch each time.
