How well does it work with C++ code?

It would be great if it can interoperate seamlessly with existed C++ library.

you think C++ interop is niche? lol

Do you have any plans to provide C/C++ bindings?

If the new language has good interop with C++ then it can be.

To some degree you can write in C++ and expose C interface.

Using C++ libraries from other languages comes to mind.

No language has good interop with C++.

Indeed, it's pretty impressive, it also has C++ interop

Might be hard, but C++ ecosystem has such tooling.
