I think many of the languages either depend on LLVM, C, C++ or JVM/Java. The only language I think not dependent on either of those is Go where compiler, runtime, GC, crypto etc are all written Go and some assembly.

Another language not dependent on any of those is Red which is currently written in Rebol & Red/System.

NB. At some point Rebol parts will be replaced by Red so making it self hosted.
