self-hosting? #36

I was reading your documentation and I saw you mention:

Literate is the system I used for several years, before writing my own. It is self hosting, which I find pretty cool, so you can read it’s own source code.

I thought you might also find it pretty cool if srcweave were self-hosting as well. Could you say anything about why it is not currently self-hosting, and what might stand in the way of self-hosting?

why it is not currently self-hosting

To self hosting you have to always maintain a working binary from previous versions, or woven output. I just haven't been that interested in making that commitment.

what might stand in the way of self-hosting?

Nothing stands in the way besides desire. Is this something you think would be interesting?
