# Ruchy Implementation Status

*Self-Hosting Edition - Updated for v1.5.0 Historic Achievement*

## 🎉 HISTORIC MILESTONE: SELF-HOSTING COMPILER ACHIEVED (v1.5.0)

**Ruchy has achieved complete self-hosting capability!** The compiler can now compile itself, making Ruchy a fully mature programming language.

### Self-Hosting Achievements ✅
- [x] **Parser Self-Compilation** - Ruchy parser written in Ruchy
- [x] **Type Inference Engine** - Algorithm W implementation in Ruchy  
- [x] **Code Generation** - Direct AST-to-Rust translation in Ruchy
- [x] **Bootstrap Cycle** - Complete compiler-compiling-compiler validation
- [x] **Performance Targets** - Exceeded all performance goals by 20-50%

## ✅ Completed Features (v1.5.0 - ALL PREVIOUS FEATURES PLUS SELF-HOSTING)

### Type System
