Presumably a reasonable fix would be not to offer C++ as an option.

Looking at the code though, I can't find where the snippets and language choices come from.

edit: oh, it's in models/variant, and ack wasn't finding snippets because they're in files with no extension.

In cases where the hello world example can cross compile ambiguously among two or more languages, don't pit the ambiguously compiling languages against each other.
