This is a web based CMS

Now that's a weird question. Any language can be applied anywhere, you
just need the workarounds. C++ has been used previously with CGI
programs in the older days when PHP/Python were barely known to people.

That violates the basic objective of the project- To eliminate any layer
of slowness due to such interpreted factors (except in case of
templating, which will be done using flex & bison).

Firstly, it is a challenging project for everyone. Nobody has tried such
a thing till now and people use PHP cmses. For sites having a large
number of hits, it becomes problematic and people keep looking for
solutions. This should be the solution :-)

I hope I answered all your doubts?
