I think you MASSIVELY underestimate the complexity of implementing C++.

The best current attempt I'm aware of is the clang project ( http://clang.llvm.org/ 
  ) which is aiming to produce a BSD-licensed C++ front-end of the  
LLVM project. They are making very good progress through a very  
difficult piece of work, and I'm sure would be happy with any help  
anyone might offer.
