They are written using other programming languages. Ruby was written using C. Same for JavaScript. There's a vast area covering these compiler / interpreter designs. Here's a small section. https://www.tutorialspoint.com/compiler_design/

Yes, programming languages are made with other languages. Typically with ASM, C, or C++
