Homebrew Curious about making homebrew

why can onul only run c++ on 3ds

C++ doesn't run on the 3DS at all. Assembly does. DevKitARM just compiles your C and C++ code into assembly so the 3DS can read it.

This is a common mistification. No actual hardware can "run" C++. 3ds, as any other hardware, can just run machine code instructions. While tools to "translate" C/C++ into 3ds machine code actually exists (the C compiler paired with the devkitpro cross-compiling toolchain) we are lacking ways to translate other languages into 3ds machine code. Of course nothing prevents us to write these translators at all

if it would be easier to make homebrew the 3ds would have more homebrew there are not a huge amount of homebrew games

It takes about 5 minutes to download and 15 minutes (Max) to setup DevKitARM and some kind of editor with compiling options (Notepad++).

Seriously. We don't have more homebrew because people don't want to get involved. The commitment is basically non-existent. 90% of the user pool just go all "me really wanta gud hombrey noa pl0x" over a necessity, instead of grabbing a good read on why that may (or may not) be possible and if it is go make it.

Yup. With the right amount of effort you can use other languages to write for the 3DS. Like the Lua player, for example. And Rust, too.
