I would not feel comfortable whatsoever making an app for those languages. HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript though, I know like the back of my hand. I've actually had people email me from the app about general web design question and I am more than happy to answer most of them.
Just because I am a developer doesn't mean that I am an expert in everything. I made this App because it's on a subject that I am very passionate about. If I were to try and make an app or add C++/QML to it, not only would it no longer feel like a hobby to me, it would entirely just be a business venture and I'd be miserable. A business venture another niche market.
You guys need to understand that apps like this aren't and won't continue to pop up for all of these different coding languages simply because it's made impossible to be profitable doing so at the moment. And no, I am not going to make one for every language out there either.. The ONLY reason this app exists is because I enjoy these languages SO much that I felt it would be enjoyable sharing my knowledge with people and trying to help them learn.
I get so many emails "nice app, but why won't you add PHP?" or "I enjoy the app, hut when are you going to make one for Ruby?" people don't realize that above the 700-800 hours it takes to make an App like this, MUCH of it is only possible if you are truly passionate and have a great understanding of the language. So I might as well announce it here, I apologize and hope you can understand where I'm coming from, but I have no plans on making a Ruby or C++ extension of this App. I'm sorry, but that would destroy this hobby of mine and I'd no longer enjoy it. Any amount of money is simply not worth it to me. I did not get into app development solely to make money and I'm not going to start now.
I appreciate your support for my app though. Thank you for helping me out (:
