Bootstrapping (compilers)
In computer science, bootstrapping is the technique for producing a self-compiling compiler — that is, compiler (or assembler) written in the source programming language that it intends to compile.

Compiler
A compiler is computer software that transforms computer code written in one programming language (the source language) into another programming language (the target language).

Computing
Computing is any goal-oriented activity requiring, benefiting from, or creating computers.

General-purpose macro processor
A general-purpose macro processor or general purpose preprocessor is a macro processor that is not tied to or integrated with a particular language or piece of software.

Melvin Conway
Melvin Edward Conway is a computer scientist, computer programmer, and hacker who coined what's now known as Conway's Law: "Organizations which design systems are constrained to produce designs which are copies of the communication structures of these organizations." Apart from the above, Conway is perhaps most famous for his seminal paper on coroutines.

Metaprogramming
Metaprogramming is a programming technique in which computer programs have the ability to treat programs as their data.

Object language
An object language is a language which is the "object" of study in various fields including logic, linguistics, mathematics, and theoretical computer science.

Porting
In software engineering, porting is the process of adapting software for the purpose of achieving some form of execution in a computing environment that is different from the one that a given program (meant for such execution) was originally designed for (e.g. different CPU, operating system, or third party library).

Self-hosting
Self-hosting is the use of a computer program as part of the toolchain or operating system that produces new versions of that same program—for example, a that can compile its own source code.

Source code
In computing, source code is any collection of code, possibly with comments, written using a human-readable programming language, usually as plain text.

Translator (computing)
A translator or programming language processor is a computer program that performs the translation of a program written in a given programming language into a functionally equivalent program in another computer language (the target language), without losing the functional or logical structure of the original code (the "essence" of each program).

UNCOL
UNCOL (Universal Computer Oriented Language) was a proposed universal intermediate language for compilers introduced by Melvin E. Conway in 1958.
