C++ translation will be done by the time the language is open sourced. I can already compile simpler projects.


Any non-trivial C++ program typically uses the STL or a similar library, which requires the full expressiveness of C++ to be implemented.

So, no, I don't think you have done even a tiny fraction of what C++ entails.


I support STL and even plan to support Boost.


That does not make sense. Either you support both because you can translate most C++, or you don't support any (modulo bugs).

Maybe you are hardcoding detection of a set of known types by hand?


Why delay the open source release of V for a complicated feature (C++ translation) that is not part of the core language?
