@MercurialBlack @jschauma Most C compilers are written in at least C. it's a fun recursive problem

>Writes C compiler in assembly
@MercurialBlack @jschauma The first "C" compiler was probably written in assembly or BPL, yeah. I put "C" in quotes because it possibly just looked like a heavily macroed assembly code which then got used to write a prettier C compiler and so on and so forth
@ukko @MercurialBlack @jschauma
This is a reasonable history. B was inspired by BCPL, and was running on Multics first, then moved onto UNUX, where it was continually bootstrapped to become C.
