Suppose you take the source code for CPython, and suppose that comprises 500K lines of C source. (It was half that a decade ago so it is feasible.)
Are suggesting that CPython written in C++ would only need 50-100K lines of C++ user code (excluding support libraries) instead of 500K?
Would the resulting binary be bigger or smaller?

C++ has a lot of unrolling code for the case that an exception is
thrown. This code usually isn't reached until a memory-collapse
occurs, but it may be still a large part of the code.
But actually no one cares for the size of an executable for such
large projects.
