The point during the implementation of a compiler for a
ProgrammingLanguage, from where on it is possible to implement the compiler in the language being compiled.
An early
BreakEven is desirable, because it avoids large amounts of code being implemented in the boot-strapping language, that are discarded once the point is reached.
This is an important point during the
BootStrapping of a compiler for a new
ProgrammingLanguage.
