I think you've been hyped into thinking that only C++ can compile

C++. This is not true. The language you use to create compiler

is independant of the compiled language itself. The role of a 

compiler is to handle the (somewhat) massive amount of data that

is contained within a source file - it can do that in any language,

be it C, rust, ADA, fortran or shell script (ok, the latest one

might be less than adapted to the task).
