A simple search will find it immediately:

But you're right--it is C, not C++. I think that the vast majority, if not
all, of the suckless developers think that C++ is irredeemably crappy. You
would get a (slightly) better reception asking about Rust or Go. Search the
list archives for some opinions about them.
Personally, I'm not in love with C--it is too low level for my preference.
But the suckless developers seem to be very dedicated to C. It is extremely
fast to compile and to run, and produces extremely small executables. The
alternatives tend to fall short on one or more of these criteria.
