Why not just compile C++ to the JVM

... instead of programming in Java?

Like what's the point? Can't you basically do everything in C++ that you could do in Java, and then some?

That's the problem. If you do something in C++ that Java doesn't support, it'd have to say "Lol, can't do that!", or do the asm.js shit and give you an insecure byte array to have the same problems in as your normal C++ address space.
