What people usually mean that their Forth is witten in Forth, is that
your "another language" is also implemented in Forth.  I.e. the
primitives may be written in an assembler written in Forth.  Such an
assembler is more an extension of Forth than a separate language.  In
which case one could kinda say that the primitives also are written in
Forth.
