And I think he said he sold that tech when he was 12-14, and Cling and easy interfaces to clang libraries didn't exist then I think... and his HTML custom tags syntax looks a lot like old ColdFusion stuff (that died a while ago for good reasons)...

To sum it up, I can see how he could do it now, but I can't see why anyone would do that. And I don't see how someone could have done that 10-15 years ago (nor why they would have tried).

I'm sure you know, but C++ is a compiled language that has many advantages for native apps (because it's compiled into processor native bitcode), but overly complex for anything web related, and there are so many existing, efficient, proven and simpler alternatives: PHP, node.js, Ruby, Python, Java, DotNet (in C# or VB, and most people use VB for web stuff), ...

Wild guess, I'd bet on: "Let's plug two buzzwords in a sentence... sooooooo... (shakes 8Ball)... HTML and... (shakes again...) C++!" 🤷‍♂️

The whole giy seems sketchy. I'm sure he's a narcissistic compulsive liar. None of what he claims make sense.
