# 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 ✅
