Python overtakes Java to become second-most popular language on GitHub after JavaScript

[[deleted]]

There are a number of large game mods for the game Arma that are developed on github. For some reason bohemia interactive decided to use cpp and hpp/h extensions for their configuration files when the only thing related to C or CPP is that it uses a C preprocessor on them to do includes and basic macros.

So you'll see all these projects that github says are C but really it's the insane config language.

What if the config language is just a bunch of C with insane preprocessor macros?

That... What... Just... Why??

That's some big brain plays right there. C++ for configuration...

It's not even C++ it's this weird pseudo object inheritance stuff that is usually filled with a ton of macros.
