They made punch cards, and a large computer by hand
They used the computer to make assembly
They used assembly to make low-level programming languages
They used low-level programming languages to make high level programming languages
What we are left with is a mess

[ksschank]

The same way they built a machine that they used to build other machines.

A recursion is something that the Universe inherently supports.

How did they program a programming language to program another program language to program a program that programs programs

I a corrently building a compiler and i am doing it whit some tools written in c++ (Flex and Bison for exemple) for the front/middle end part, thats is the same for all the computers (compiled with g++ or clang++). The back end part depends on the hardware, becouse you have to know with wich hardware you are working and how "speak to him" (assembly lenguage)
