I'm looking for Shadowrun 4E fluff information on programming languages. What are the names of canon programming languages in 4E? C+++? SuperPython? etc? Please let me know where in what book you find it in.

Thanks, guys!

  • \$\begingroup\$ I can tell you that C+++ doesn't make much sense. "++" is an operator in C, which means 'increment after this operation', so C++ is a meaningful construct to a C programmer. However, I can also tell you that if I were playing a 'Runner, I'd be a SuperPython specialist in a hot tick! \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ C+++ reminds me of a radio commercial for a job board website where they asked for c double plus programmers. I could not stop laughing. \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ C# already is C++++ (two pluses over two pluses to make the sharp sign) \$\endgroup\$

I'm a programmer who's read most of the Shadowrun books and I can't recall ever seeing a specific language mentioned.
