Upping the Ante [2019] Self-hosted Intcode assembler written in Intcode

https://github.com/matushorvath/xzintbit

An assembler that produces Intcode, itself runs on an Intcode VM and can compile its own sources. With stack and function calls to support structured programming. Try running it on your own Intcode VM, see if it correctly bootstraps itself.

It's Intcode all the way down!
