As I said,

I don't see why we should, by default, assume that an implementation of
a programming language has to refer to other languages to implement its
own standard. There is reason to use OS services at some low level, and
these might be written in some other language.
 You'd be programming an operating system on top of an OS just to
avoid NIH...
