Bootstrapping is a large investment with little practical value beside 
demonstrating that "the child is mature enough for serious work".
That said, flying to the moon has little practical value as well, but I 
wouldn't say it was a stupid idea...
I'm quite sure that there will be a Swift compiler written in Swift somewhere 
in the future, and that it will be a proud moment for those involved in the 
language.
