I am an experienced compiler/interpreter writer, but have always
written my compilers in C/C++ so far. As almost everyone will admit,
C/C++ are hardly ideal languages. I am considering writing my next
compiler in some other language, but I am unsure of what language to
use. What languages have others found useful as implementation
languages?


The following features are important to me in a choice for a better
implementation language:


* mature compiler(s) that produces native-code binaries
* open source - preferable, but not 100% necessary


Thanks,
Kevin Albrecht
