It happened at various universities around the world. Look at the
original Haskell committee and you'll get a good idea where.
The smallest Haskell I know of is Gofer/Hugs; it originally ran on a 640k PCs.
Before that languages like SASL and KRC ran on PDP-11 with 64k memory.
None of these had a compiler that was bootstrapped, but I had a simple
functional language that compiled itself and ran in 64K.
The smallest bootstrapped Haskell compiler is NHC which (I think) runs
in a few MB.
I bootstrapped GHC from the intermediate C files on a 640K PC around
1993 or so. I don't remember exactly, but I think it might have worked,
for some small value of "work".
