No, PICAXE chips must use basic through its programming editor.

Other microcontrollers support C++, however it isn't really the best language for microcontrollers, C is the most widespread.

Strongly agree with you Razor... Isn't the Arduino environment C++ ???
I've never programmed in the Arduino environment, but if so... then it just happens to be enormously widespread...

The libraries are coded in c++, however the actual code is just plain C.
