This turns out not to be the case.

I have personally worked on a Pascal compiler that was written in 
Pascal, and assemblers galore written in assembler.  As C wasn't the 
first HLL there will be a number of languages written in something else. 
  I'm pretty sure there are Ada compilers written in ADA.
