It's Mac, Mac doesn't use c++

The coding language is Javascript

[strawberrycoughin]

oh thanks

@assassin3004 Surely you are kidding :D — Macs can compile and run C++, but for Widgets it is based on JavaScript. For applications/games, C++ is used either as the primary language or intertwined with Objective-C (this is called Objective-C++ and has the extension .mm for its source files). Though you can create widget plug-ins which use Cocoa bundle, this is Objective-C and I don't see how Objective-C++ shouldn't be able to be run as a widget plug-in. :)

@CasperBHansen Yeahh yeah sorry, my comment was completely out. It's amazing how much you think you know after programming for a few months :)

[CasperBHansen]

@assassin3004 It's a common misunderstanding, it's all good :)
