How Can a Machine Reads a Compiler Since A Compiler is Written in Text! Not Binaries?
To make a programming language you need a compiler, so what was the first programming language and how was is created if you need the compiler first?

The compiler itself is considered as a high language comparing to the machine! since the compiler is not created in 1's and 0's...

Eventhough i have programmed before, this question confuses me everytime...
