<h2>Potentially problematic</h2>
+ <h3>OCaml</h3>
+ <p>Has binary seeds in <code>./boot</code>, there is <a href="https://github.com/Ekdohibs/camlboot">camlboot</a> but it seems to be pretty inefficient (takes hours to compile when regular ocaml takes minutes to compile)</p>

<h3 id="zig">Zig</h3>
<p><a href="https://ziglang.org/news/goodbye-cpp/">Threw out the C++ implementation in favor of a <strong>large</strong> WASM binary seed</a>, for now it's chained-bootstrapping, hopefully an alternative compiler written in a bootstrapped language will appear.</p>
