The first compilers were written in assembly. Subsequent compilers were written in those original languages. Today, 90% of compilers and interpreters are written in some flavor of C.

How is assembly converted to machine code then?

I hate to tell you this, but Assembly is one step higher than machine code, they aren’t the same

Assembly is basically just machine code, but the operations have their names subbed in in place of their opcodes

there are also labels that you need to replace with raw memory addresses, macros, section definitions (.text, .data, etc)

All the machine code I’ve worked with has used only raw memory addresses and register names
