What programming language does SFM use?

If so is there any plugins to enable SFM to use other languages.

1- If you mean for rig scripts, it's Python.

Rig scripts? It's just called "scripts". But yeah, it does use Python for that.

However, I assume Source FilmMaker and other Source things use C++ or something. At least Team Fortress 2 Classic uses that (if I remember right).

The Source Engine, TF2 game and the core of SFM are written in C++. Only Valve have the source code and can alter it.

The scripting system for IK rigs etc. utilizes Python.

The user interface uses the Qt framework, which uses a mix of C++ and QML markup.

In the case of the Source Engine, doesn't Garry Newman also have it due to sharing X percentage of what people pay for Garry's Mod with VALVe?

Of course, he licensed the code from Valve. But only Valve have the SFM stuff, if that makes sense.

It does, but my mind interpreted "it" as "the Source Engine, Team Fortress 2 and the core of Source FilmMaker", since you said all those things before saying "it".
