One more point There is nothing really new anymore. In the olden days one would create a compiler for a new language X and have it written in X, but those days are no more! It seems that all new compilers are written in C - or in Fortran, nowadays.
I wonder what are COBOL and PL/I compilers written in? Is that still PLX or did IBM move to C as well.
