Yes, and a reason why most of them are implemented in C or C++. ;-)
Actually, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "implemented in". I can't
look at the .NET source, but Mono is mostly implemented in C#, with the
core of the runtime implemented in C.
Python is written in C.
Most common lisp implementations are written almost entirely in lisp,
usually with the GC and OS interface in C.
My gripes are against C++, not C. Well, I have plenty of gripes against C,
but they are different.
Java does have a lot of CPP in the implementation.
