Also, CMake uses CMake to create its project files. Any others?

  Coffeescript compiler written in coffeescript?

  Lots of compilers are bootstrapped; GCC builds itself with GCC, GHC (the Haskell compiler) is written in Haskell and builds itself. These are just two popular examples, but my experience is that most serious compilers for general purpose languages are bootstrapped. (I'm working on a Perl 6 compiler that is mostly written in Perl 6. It's real fun!)

    I'm curious what back end you're using for that project. Offhand I'd assume LLVM but I know there's others that might make a good choice too.

      The current backend is the parrot VM (LLVM would be a bit too "low level"), though we plan CLR (.NET/mono) and JVM backends.

  dotCloud runs on dotCloud, using a special bootstrap mode.
