How are you posting here?
Anyway, try Google, but I think the zx81 runs on a z80. I tried finding a
C++ compiler for the z80 a few months ago, but no luck. There was several C
compilers, though.

The only one of which I'm aware is written in Java, so as soon as you
find a JVM for the ZX81, you're all set.

If you can't afford a 'modern' pc, then you shouldn't be programming.
Programming *requires* a high level of commitment which includes the necessary
$$ to be able to purchase the necessary tools.
Either make the necessary commitments, or choose something else to do w/ your
time.

Why? You can be perfectly happy programming an old machine of the 80' in
some interpreted Basic, for example.

The C++ Standard defines no such terms as:
modern pc
a high level of commitment

Why not? People used to get along fine with computers that had less power
than a modern $10 pocket calculator.
Old computers can do just as much as when they were made; they don't
magically deteriorate in processing power.

Not using Standard C++ language.

They don't by themselves. But you cannot consider computers outside
the context of using them with certain tools. I can program in C++
using Zortech C++ circa 1991 on a PC/AT of similar vintage, but I would
not be programming in C++ as it is known and used today.
Common mistake (IMNSHO) made often in Usenet discussions is giving
excessively generic statements in a conversation that starts about
something pretty concrete and limited in scope. Can one learn to
program on a Sinclair? Definitely. Can one learn to use C++ Templates
in their full capacity on a Sinclair? I strongly doubt that. One does
need a modern compiler for that and most (if not all) modern compilers
require pretty modern hardware/OS setup to be used.
What a Sinclair could be used for is to serve as a remote terminal to
a machine elsewhere. One would need a modem and a phone line for that
(and, no, I am not sure Sinclair had a modem, but I believe it could
have one).

The post I was responding to (Julie's) was talking about programming in
general.

This is rubbish. My school entered an inter-school BASIC programming
competition once. We had an Apple IIe (with line-editor and line numbers).
The others all had fancy Macs and PCs with cut-and-paste, and functions,
and so on. We hosed them all thoroughly.

So what are you disagreeing with?
Did you not make a commitment to learn/know BASIC?
Were the computers that you used without cost? Programming *requires* a high level of commitment which includes the necessary $$ to be able to purchase the necessary tools.
Are you saying that this isn't true? That you can program w/o commitment and
tools?
It is my impression that the OP isn't sincere in his intentions, or is out of
touch with alternative measures or the reality of the situation.
C++ maybe not ... but C might be available for Z80-Processors.
There is for example (one or more) for the 6502-Prozessors (C64).

The line where you said "If you can't afford a 'modern' pc, then you
shouldn't be programming". Apple IIe far from a modern pc, and I was
programming.

If you take parts of a statement and pull them out of context, you can make any
argument that you want.
These two sentences should *not* be separated, they aren't exclusive or
independent of each other:
If you can't afford a 'modern' pc, then you shouldn't be programming [C++].
