C++, compiled with Visual Studio Professional 2019 16.9.3 (Community Edition should work too). VS 2017 is too old, as it lacks template constraints. Note the project now uses C++ modules. To use normal header files, USE_CPP_MODULES=0 in the project properties preprocessor definitions, because modules tend to crash the compiler.
