What is Bootstrapping?

I did not quite understand what this bootstrapping would be. I saw something being a way to initialize an application.

I'm not talking about Twitter Bootstrap.

Bootstrapping is action to start something on its own. Even this term in this context has at least two contexts.

When something starts and prepares the environment for which it matters to run, it is a boot process. The most common is an operating system that loads basic software and then loads the rest of the operating system, which is what matters. This can occur with other types of software, especially platforms such as web (Electron), or VMs like .NET or JVM, just to name a few.

It may be you do something with an existing technology to create a new technology and then switch to the technology you've created, probably to continue with it.

Think about the egg and chicken problem, who was born first?

I mention this as an example in How is a compiler done? .

To get an idea of the number of meanings just visit Wikipedia . I highlight the use in statistics and derived areas used in computing.
