The compiler itself I believe is written in C and compiled with VS etc. The user-libs are written in a combination of C and ASM. The IDE is written in PB.

And the initial 'bootstrapping' compiller would have been written is ASM which means that we are all daft for not using ASM!

Right, in that case I am switching to C - it must be a better language to use!

Out of sheer morbid curiosity, is the PB language and features at a point where it could become a self-hosting compiler?

I see no reason why not. But hey, so could pretty much any language, as long as it would direct access to files and is able to manipulate data on byte level

Can/could the PureBasic compiler output C code?

It would be possible though? What amount of work would you reckon it'd be for you?
