Bython should be written with Bython #54

Hi Bython team,

I suggest rewriting Bython in Bython itself, making it a self-hosting compiler. Self-hosting is a key milestone in compiler theory, demonstrating the language's maturity and robustness. This approach would:

  1. Improve Reliability: Writing Bython in its own language would help catch bugs and edge cases, enhancing the tool's quality.
  2. Boost Community Engagement: Self-hosting often attracts more contributors, fostering a more vibrant community.
  3. Prove Viability: It would show that Bython is not just a preprocessor but a fully capable language.

This would solidify Bython as a powerful tool, proving its potential as a standalone language.
