No, it's not, it's the site of a Russian guy who says he reverse
engineered Turbo Pascal 7 and sells the source code for that (called
TPC16, there's also a 32bit version compiled with Delphi).
And ultimately I think that TP was written in Z80 assembler, later

Actually, I don't know about versions pre 4.0), but source code versions
of tp 6 have escaped into the wild, and if you can locate one of those,
you'll see turbo pascal is written in turbo pascal as well.
