Is there any preference to writing a compiler in say c instead of say
java, fortran, basic etc? I ask cause i see many of the projects using
either c or c++ instead of other programming languages.
Sincerely,

[Mostly people use what they're used to, or in languages that are easy
to bootstrap on the machines they want to use. IBM's Fortran H
compiler was famously written in itself, but I wouldn't write a new
compiler in Fortran because it doesn't have great data structuring or
dynamic storage management. (Yes, I know that Fortran 2008 is a lot
different from Fortran 66.) -John]
