There are Java implementations in Java like Jikes RVM.

Garbage collected languages can be easily bootstraped, it is a matter of what intrisics are available, and what mechanisms are availble beyond plain heap allocation.

Oberon, Go, D, Nim, Modula-3, Cedar are some examples.

But mainline Java is written in C++, right?
