wxWidgets is a C++ toolkit, i.e. written in and used by programmers using C++. So the documentation and many examples are C++-specific and so might be harder to read for those not familiar with C++. However, it is important to focus on the concepts and the high-level view and not worry about C++ details.

There are interfaces or "bindings" to the functionality from many different high-level languages including Python and Perl. One can use these for more information but again if one is not familiar with such languages, the examples can become more confusing thatn helpful as aspects of wxWidgets can be succinctly written in these high-level languages using language features just as we can in R.
