I would have thought most of the high level languages were... The
Pascal compiler in Apple Pascal was self hosting, although because the
OS itself was a collection of segment procedures one had to know what
they were doing to replace it.

Of course, since the P-system was portable, it would have made more
sense to build the system on a larger computer than an Apple II :-)
