Released 2020

Confirms current value; the introducing paper was published in March 2020, a year before the GitHub repository (created 2021-02-23) was pushed, so the paper is the correct first-availability marker rather than the repo date.

Language C++

Confirms current value; the README lists a C++17/TBB/OpenMP build dependency stack, though there is no explicit 'implemented in C++' statement.
