finished reading the README but still have no clue how does this compare with other operating systems, or what are the killer features.

I really can't tell what the intent is supposed to be, but from scouting around the source it's a BSD licensed POSIX-ish OS written in clean-looking C++ from scratch. There is a nascent Objective-C(++) runtime but no ObjC example code that I could find.

I'm not sure why one would write a new OS in C++ in 2021/2022, but the source is quite easy to read, looks easy to contribute to if one is so inclined.

numbers of hobby C++ OS started from scratch which went from zero to GUI in a couple years: at least 4 - SerenityOS, this, https://github.com/skiftOS/skift, https://github.com/Supercip971/WingOS

how many in other languages ?

Yeah, that's how it always starts.
