Not possible.
So much of what you wrote after that is really weak crap.
"In effect you're as a result suggesting I jump off a cliff to climb 100 trees stacked tip to tip with no gear. "
Or maybe just get down to a library to get on the forum? Or is that insufficient drama?
"it's unusual that I turn any of my computers on anymore as I don't have much reason - I have nothing to 3D print, no new code to install in my unused devices [2 Uno's, 2 Due's, 10 Nano's, 2 Mini's, 2 Mega 2560's and 2 MKR1200's], no blah blah blah...) such as Windows, Macintosh, Linux, BSD, etc."
You have all this stuff to show what? That you can't code it because the system won't let you yet you bought all that?
You keep breaking what little sense you make but one thing is clear, you don't understand that language or the IDE.
HOW CAN YOU BE TRYING ANYTHING WHEN IT'S SO UNUSUAL TO TURN A PC ON?
Borland makes a C++ but get this... C++ did not come from Borland. It's an extension of C that came from Bell Labs.
If you can learn C, you can write Arduino unless you choose to be lame over excuses. It's up to you.
C is so old you can find books to learn it in used book stores and here's a kick, they have no phone or PC interface.
Java is so close to C++ that when I tried it I dropped it because I wouldn't want to start mixing up commands.
I use a phone for my net hotspot. The PC that uses it is an RPi 3+ (with a B in there somewhere) and it's only a little weird.
Please, what do you run the IDE on? Not your phone.
In the 70's there was a book called Games People Play about a pop-psych thing call Transactional Analysis. It was interesting as an idea but not great. There was one "party game" called Yes-But where a group member poses a problem and then for every solution the originator has a "yes, but" reason why not to do that. The object of the game for the originator is not to reach a solution but just keep attention going. For the others, the object is to realize they're wasting their time.
