Are you kidding? It has been a favorite pasttime for Lisp and
Scheme hackers at least since the reference manual of Lisp 1.5
to write meta circular interpreters. The first page of the
first chapter of "Lisp in Small Pieces" contains references
to the first 26 interpreters.

SICP is a fine place to start.
