How are compilers compiled

>What is a supercompiler

with a C compiler

The first one is made in assembly

with a compiler for whatever language you wrote the compiler to be compiled in

It's called bootstrapping op

Chickens evolved from earlier versions of egg laying raptors.

mmmm

op


that's actually a fucking great question!

someone has to make a chronological evolution of the compilers to the actual ones, its something that we can trace back.

it depends
at this point you can make any compiler in any turing complete language

a better question is how was the first compiler compiled

via punch cards

they were inserted into a compiler

But what compiles the super compiler?

How was the source code for the first text editor written?

The supercompiler was made by God on the seventh day. Don't ask me who made God, my manual doesn't cover that.

How were the punch cards compiled?

By your fucking hand

This guy ^
And the very first one was written in assembler.

processor manufacturers will give you an assembler to make their products usable, then someone builds a more sophisticated assembler that builds other assemblers and those build compilers that build compilers and then a faggot appears and makes a language called Go

At this point in time, a brand new ISA would be just be bootstrapped by setting up a cross compiler on an existing platform.

Pretty much all languages are bootstrapped in C these days.

By your fucking vulva

Who made the assembly though

By punching cards

the people who made the processor

The first compiler was written in machine code. Nowadays compilers are usually written in some other language than the language they are compiling

who created machine code?

I did
