Re: What about Assembly Language?

I believe it was initially written in "New B", which was written in B.

I can't remember whether B had its own bootstrap compiler written in assembly or relied on BCPL for that, but I think it did because, from my hazy memories of what I read, B was created to fit a BCPL derivative into the cramped memory of the PDP-7.
