Why compile to c++? 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.
