I'm surprised you've not heard of the author (Sean Baxter). He's pretty well known among people who are interested in c++ standards proposals.

He single handedly wrote his own C++ front-end and then proceeded to implement a butt load of extensions which other members of the committees poo-pood as being to hard to implement in the compiler.

Every couple of weeks he implements something new. He's a real joy to follow.

I'm familiar with C++ and used to use it a fair bit, but I'm way out of date with it. Python has been my primary language almost since I picked it up, nearly 20 years ago.
