Isn't Arduino just using C/C++? According to their [FAQ it is](https://www.arduino.cc/en/Main/FAQ):
> Q: Can I program the Arduino board in C? >> A: In fact, you already are; the Arduino language is merely a set of C/C++ >> functions that can be called from your code. It sounds akin to having a custom C++ filetype for Qt or something, not that I'm strictly opposed to either, I just wonder how many special purpose custom filetypes we want to add for languages which are already supported. For example, I've been doing programming on several classic microcontrollers lately, would we want to have a `filetypes.6502.conf`, `filetypes.8051.conf`, `filetypes.8086.conf`, `filetypes.68k.conf`, `filetypes.AVR.conf`, `filetypes.PIC.conf`, etc.? I suppose the alternative would be to put all of these specialized filetypes on the wiki. Adding the Arduino-specific extensions as in [SFBUG 597](https://sourceforge.net/p/geany/feature-requests/597/) and #1328 seems completely reasonable since they don't clash with existing extensions (despite the fact that users could easily add those extensions themselves and indeed that is the entire purpose of that config file). -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
