A comment on Is C++ the Language of the Future?. Parent comment
Compiling to javascript makes sense because javascript is the lowest common denominator for browsers.
Compiling to c++ wouldn't make any sense when you can compile directly to assembly/bytecode.
It would be like writing a python like language that compiled to coffeescript. It would be silly not to compile it directly to javascript.
