C might not be the best language to implement a compiler in. C's weak
typing
for example.

ucc is written in C as you have pointed out. It is an interesting project
that takes compilers back to some fundaments. Wenjun Wang is to be
commended for a nice piece of work.

Increasingly I expect we are going to see home grown Asian development
tools like ucc appearing.
