Thanks for you interest in Cecil! Here is a short history of Cecil:

The initial Cecil design effort was started in early 1991. The first Cecil
interpreter and typechecker implementation, written in Self, was done over
1992 and 1993. In 1993, a translator from Cecil to C was added to the
interpreter, making the first Cecil compiler. In 1994, a larger Cecil
optimizing compiler, this time written in Cecil, was begun; this compiler
eventually evolved into the Vortex optimizing compiler.

Hope this helps,

Sorin
