" The first C compiler writers had a variation on the
ChickenAndEggProblem<http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?ChickenAndEggProblem>.
They needed to write C compilers. C made a great language for writing C 
compilers. Of course, you couldn't actually *compile* your first C compiler 
until you wrote a C compiler. This sounds like a paradox, but it really 
wasn't. You would simply build up a compiler from a hybrid of C and 
assembly, perhaps even hand assembling some of the C. As your compiler got 
better, you'd eventually port more and more of the compiler to C. Eventually 
you'd have a C compiler written completely in C, which could compile itself. 
Each C compiler could then give birth to better C compilers. [*C evolved 
from B [see BeeLanguage <http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?BeeLanguage>], which already 
had a compiler written in B. However, that compiler was a rewrite of a B 
compiler written in TMG, and the compiler for the implementation of TMG used 
was written in an assembly language for the PDP7. I assume the assembler 
ultimately derived from a 'hand-assembled' program. See
DennisRitchie<http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?DennisRitchie>'s
account at http://www.cs.bell-labs.com/who/dmr/chist.html.*]"

*History* 

The first compiler was developed in 1952 by Grace Hopper, a pioneering 
computer scientist. She said that she invented it because she was lazy and 
wished that "the programmer may return to being a mathematician." She is 
also well known for her important role in the development of the COBOL 
programming language (which is still in widespread use for business 
applications), including the development of the first COBOL compiler. 

The number of compilers grew swiftly accompanying the proliferation of 
programming languages and processors and the advances in compiler 
technology. The 1990s saw a surge in the introduction of free compilers and 
compiler development tools, including open source compilers developed as 
part of the GNU <http://www.bellevuelinux.org/gnu.html> project. 

The highly regarded GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) is considered by many to 
be the most important piece of open source software. Formerly called the GNU 
C Compiler, it now contains compilers for the C, C++, Objective C, Fortran, 
Java and Ada programming languages. It has been *ported to* (i.e., modified 
to run on) more processors and operating systems than any other compiler, 
and it runs on in excess of 60
*platforms*<http://www.bellevuelinux.org/platform.html>(
i.e., combinations of processors and operating systems)."
 
"-*Which was the first compiler ? And in which language was it written in?
-**The first complier was the A-0, written by Grace Hopper. It was made from 
assembly."*
