Can I export the plugin as source code, such as C++?

Hi All
Is it possible to export a completed plugin made in Script node for example as pure source code such as C++? I'm thinking it might not be since VST plugins are compiled and often rely on the Steinberg SDK or the DAW they are running in.
Not sure if I'm missing the option or it's not possible. Was largely a curious question so I could look through the code and see how it's all pulled together in C++ for my own learning (or whatever code is under the hood. Guessing C++ since it's built on JUCE).

@TinyHustlr after exporting the plugin, take a look at the AdditionalSourceCode folder, it contains the generated C++ code for your nodes.
It makes heavy use of variadic templates and the C++ framework of scriptnode so the information that you can extract from it as a beginner might be very sparse though…

@Christoph-Hart This is super helpful and more than enough to get me started. Much appreciated.
