Indeed. Verdix, ICC, DEC, and Meridian use other languages to write their
compilers. Alsys, RR, TeleSoft, and Rational all use Ada.
Is Verdix' commitment to C as a host language a contributing factor in the
bugs being so hard to fix?
A nice consequence of compiler houses writing their stuff is Ada is that
the developers really have to know Ada! I believe that will help them
better to understand the kinds of programs their customers will write.
(The Verdix guy's use of a C-ism shows me which language he focuses on...)
