First of all, can you save the script as an .exe file, or do you need to save it as .cpp and then compile it?
And second, would you say age is a limitation for learning C++?

You have to save as .cpp and compile it. Your text editor is not magical.
Age in which direction? I believe the youngest member we've had was 12, the oldest over 60. Note, though, that it takes several years to become really good at C++, so if you're over 100, you might not want to bother
All the buzzt!

BTW, since C++ is not a scripting language, the code in .cpp files is called "source code" not a script.
