How is it possible that written a programming language like CoffeeScript in  itself like CoffeeScript? Firstly CoffeeScript doesn't exist that read CoffeeScript scripts and interpret them?
How can CoffeeScript be written in CoffeeScript?
programming languages;coffeescript
First you design a language A on paper and white board.Then you write an implementation of a language A (compiler, vm, interpreter, runtime depending on a scope of language) in language B.Once you have stable environment for language A, you can start writing version of environment for language A in language A.I would say, that unless language is slow or not turing complete, it's tools should always be implemented in it. That makes it's much easier for developers to work with it.
