Looks interesting, but doesn't pay well.

A similar thread to this has been in clc++m for some time.
I guess it is someone joking around.

"Was reported" by whom? Just tell how it actually *is* not what
unspecified gossips reported. Do you say that ... no one from
Microsoft "was reported" joined to try to write C++ compiler?

They posted there too I am sure.
