Actually compilers are more complex than operative systems, and incredibly they are built using compilers.

I belive you. I made a basic OS in around a month and now i’m starting a C compiler, I think I underestimated it a bit

gcc and clang are open source, you can read their source code whenever you want!

Yup, C is written in C. You bootstrap using a compiler written in another language until your language is complete enough to write its own compiler.

Alright, that’s kinda crazy lol.
