F is the way of the future. You can't spell Future without F.

Very true. And everyone who says otherwise can go F themselves.

the programming language is not that important, what's really important is the compiler to generate the ASM binary code to work on ARM CPU that the 3DS is using.
to understand a code, you need to convert it to the CPU's own language.

As the most common language is C and C++, existing compilers (converter from human readable code to machine language code) are mostly based on C/C++
this is the one provided in devkitpro's SDK.

But it's not necessarily the only input language you can use.
Python, Java or Lua could be used too, as long as you have a converter to ARM formatted code for the 3DS.


Some 3DS homebrew are written in Lua.
no, there's no java or python, or even C# compiler for 3DS, it was just an example :P
or maybe there is but there's no written library for 3DS, nobody did it.
edit: or there is the reverse : running python on a 3DS's python interpreter (not a compiler)
