The last 10% is usually the actual 90%. Claims like C++ translation is definitely one of those 90% things that may look easy to some people until you actually try to do it.
I don't think there's a single person on this planet for whom translating C++ would seem easy.

It will be back, open source, re-written in V: http://gitly.org I started developing Volt/V in the middle of developing gitly. That's my biggest drawback. I finish 90% of the project, and jump to a different thing. I've grown a lot since then, and I'm slowly wrapping up everything.

The GitHub issue about the playground says C++ translation is "not coming soon". So the claimed C/C++ translation looks misleading.
C++ translation will be done by the time the language is open sourced. I can already compile simpler projects.
So, no, I don't think you have done even a tiny fraction of what C++ entails.

Glad to hear you are growing, but just so you know you are getting a reputation for over-promising and under-delivering. In the last thread that was over 2 weeks ago, you promised the online playground in 2 days. It wasn't 2 days [1]. In this reddit thread you promised it in 3 hours [2]. It wasn't 3 hours. Look, you don't owe anybody anything, and that's fine. Just don't make promises you can't keep. If you're not go…
How much money have you donated to him yet?

Hi, This is definitely not a toy language. Right now it can emit x64 machine code, more platforms will be available after the open-source release in early June.
We will see once you release the source code, but for now maybe tone down the language on your site and in your comments. Of course your code is going to compile faster if you don’t support any platforms or optimizations. If you’re really serious about building a programming language I suggest porting V to llvm IR so you can focus on the parts you’re obviously more interested in.

If this is thr case, this post should be flagged for misinformation.
It’s intentionally misleading. He might not be outright lying, but he is either too ignorant or intentionally leaving out that his compiler is essentially just a front end with no back end.

YOu know that website /r/choosingbeggars? That's where you belong. Author is giving stuff for free and humbly accepts that he has scheduling issues. You choose to lecture him like he owes you. How much money have you donated to him yet?

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.
