There is, and it's probably because M3 arose from a strong tradition of 
self-sufficiency.  Way back then, people were designing systems 
languages -- languages that could be used to implement an entire system, 
including its own run-time system.  It means that M3 is a viable 
language for bootstrapping onto a new machine.

Except, as far as I know, that it still relies on gcc's back end 
(written in C) for its code generation, and which causes license 
incompatibilities with the SRC license.

Didn't M3 once generate C code, as Eiffel still does?  And did it 
generate anything else before those C-generating days?

What was M3 originally written in?  MESA?
