If C were really a production ready systems language don't you think its compiler would be written in it
@myrrlyn i did not know this.
@hirojin I don't know the extent of the mixture but yeah
This is, to me, the funniest piece of modern trivia I've yet learned
@myrrlyn is there any modern, respectable C compiler, that's not written in C++?
@myrrlyn pretty sure Microsoft's and Intel's stuff is all in C++
@hirojin wasn't sure if msvc counted as respectable or not :p
@hirojin I can't find source info for ICC, I don't think TCC counts as modern, and I can't think of any others offhand
(GCC has been a mixed C/C++ codebase since 2010)
