My recollection of a talk by Ichbiah (at the time) was that they wrote
the Alsys compiler in Ada 83 and wrote a program (presumably in PL/1) to
translate Ada 83 to PL/1. Once the executable worked well enough, of
course, they stopped using the translator and just compiled the compiler
with the compiler.
