Do you mean C++?

(It's a pet peeve of mine. The language is called "C++". "cpp" is commonly used as the suffix for C++ source file names, but the name "cpp" also refers to the C preprocessor.)

The common R package for integrating C++ is called "Rcpp", so calling it "cpp" isn't that strange in context.
