QGIS is written in C++.

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

QGIS can be built using any compliant compiler [2]

QGIS is free software [3]

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.
