Bold, claim, considering all the C++ parsers out there that work just fine... The fact that you need to code a parser by hand doesn't mean that the language is impossible to parse at all. And even for an easier to parse language, if you want to write a parser that spits error messages that make any sense to most users, and that may use some heuristics to guess the programmer's intend in order to give even better error messages, you will have to code it by hand anyway.
