QGIS is written in C++.

The "V" is not part of the language name, stands for "Visual"
and identifies a proprietary [1] C++ compiler.

 [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software

QGIS can be built using any compliant compiler [2]

 [2] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_compilers#C.2B.2B_compilers

QGIS is free software [3]

 [3] http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

Most QGIS developers use a free software compiler, often GCC [4]

Nobody deserves to write or speak in a language which requires the
use of a black box to interpret or run.
