However, there is something a little off about this proposal. First, the size of this effort is really quite substantial, even neglecting optimization. Secondly, the phrase The C++ Grandmaster Certification began development as an internal training program, and the foundation was founded to offer it publicly suggests some compiler-writing company heavily involved in the C++ space. How many of those are there really? I mean, it has been 20 years since anyone made any money producing C++ compilers. All for-profit companies do it as a side effect. VC++, for example, in the 90s had 50 people working on just the compiler itself, not counting the Visual part.
So it presents a secondary challenge, which is 1) is this a real company 2) what really is the end goal?
Edit: Also, the bootstrapping question is not well addressed. What do we have to start with? Regular C? can I do the first phase in Lisp or Arc or Factor?
Am I allowed to look at other source, like that of g++ or clang or llvm or objective C?
Finally, the apparent copyright terms seem at least unacceptable, if not downright goofy.
