(But yes, in general people should check for other submissions before submitting something, it would reduce the noise in /new a lot and help giving content that is less mass-appealing a better chance to be noticed. Also, if you feel to much "crap" ends up on the front page, go check /new and help upvote better submissions)
The use case is advertised as allowing you to port code to new devices. But the github repo says it only supports Ubuntu, OSX, and Windows. Lastly C++ isn't generally considered a portable language. Frankly the idea of porting a C# runtime to a new platform sounds more exciting then debugging 10,000SLoC of machine generated C++ to a new arch.
If they only use a limited subset of C++, it is a pretty portable language. If they use all bells and whistles the language has to offer, then it will be a nightmare.
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Why the limited subset? I know that STL and embedded aren't the best of friends but where else is there a problem? Is it the threading stuff?
