You had Apple Pascal.


As I understand the term, there is ZBasic, HyperC and Aztec C each of which offer a host environment and compiler. I rather liked ZBasic as it attempted to emulate the BASIC command line features such as calculations.

But which, if any, of these compilers/enviroments was self-hosted
(compiled using itself)?


I think this may only apply to HyperC but I couldn't say for sure. IIRC, the doc's mention something about this. Since both C systems use byte code interpreters I would not be surprised if both were self-hosted. Without original source files we may never know.
