Geez, this is odd memory day. I once had an instructor say we could
write an assembler in "any structured language". Most people chose C,
Pascal or Algol. I wrote a SNOBOL preprocessor - in SNOBOL, of course
- to let me write the assembler in structured SNOBOL. I was one of the
first ones to finish the assignment.
Today, I could do it faster in Python - but that was many miles ago.
