 In my opinion, any serious programming language must have a serious
 bootstrapping strategy that addresses the "Trusting Trust" issue aka
 the Thompson Hack.  The easiest way to do that is making sure that

+Currently thinking of the following strategy, which I believe is
+similar to how Guile does it:

+  including hygienic macros, but be as easy as possible to maintain.
+
+* The Zisp compiler will be written in Zisp.  The interpreter can run
+  the compiler (since it can run any Zisp program) and will be used to
+  compile the compiler.
