I believe that all languages that contain recursion and the ability to
read the nth element of a list (array or car/cdr nest) can be written in
themselves. A group I worked with added recursion to occam for the
expressed purpose of writing the language comiler in the language - we
called it a bootstrapable language, as the process of constructing a
compiler for a language in the language is called bootstrapping.
Interesting to hear (always been an occam fan). However, I am under the
impression that the original TDS occam2 compiler _was_ written in occam2,
although the language does not contain recursion, dynamic memory allocation,
nor pointers.
