So, who's gotten Scheme to run on a 4K PDP-8 with
only an ASR-33 for
I/O?
PICOBIT is a Scheme that can run on PIC microcontrollers with 6KB of ROM
and 1KB of RAM. But it is a cross compiler, not a native system.

How many languages were first written in FORTRAN?
SNOBOL, for sure,
as well as PL/M. Several FORTRAN compilers that I know of were
written in FORTRAN for the most part. Quite a number of cross-
assemblers were also written in FORTRAN.
PALASM (the grandfather of Verilog and VHDL) was written in FORTRAN. I
helped with a 68000 assembler in FORTRAN, and it was not a nice
experience.
