Re: Object Oriented Approach to Compiler design and Implementation.

A similar language to Cecil, Dylan also has its bootstrapped compiler:

Dylan has objects (and nothing else) from bottom up, multiple inheritance,
multidispatch, macros and an algol-like syntax.


The compiler is completely object-oriented and modular.
