I always harp on this fact - for example perl is written in C, python is written
in C, php is written in C, but if you want to learn from the sources why
shouldn't it be python is written in python and php is written with a php
compiler. And we all know delphi ide kernel and compiler is written in lots of C
and some Delphi for the gui parts, but not all of them. Java is written in C.
