The problem is not just ahead of time compilation. This has been available for a long time on Pascal, OCaml, Ada, and even Lisp. C++ offers access to lower level programming constructs that makes it very efficient to program things like games, numeric algorithms, device drivers, desktop applications, and many more areas that depend on these C++ features.
