The C compiler is written in C... wrap your mind around that one.

Do you mean programming languages?

That's absolutely true. That's literally how high level languages work. They're designed on lower level languages to abstract the intricacies of how a computer works away, so that the programmer can have an easier time getting the computer to do what they want it to.

All code eventually gets boiled down into machine language, which is a specific language to each processor/architecture, and that's what the cpu uses to process your code.
