Why wouldn't you?

1) C is everywhere
2) if the C compiler has a preprocessor,
     you can do most any syntax conversion
3) C can do everything, or C++ can if C can't,
     and C++ was coded in C ...

LOL. ;-)

AISI, the easy place to start is to write your language parser in C.
Yes, you may need to rewrite it in the host language, eventually,
or you could cross-compile.
