hey, what was discord coded in? and what software would i need to get to make something like it?

According to Discord Wikipedia entry: JavaScript, React, Elixir.

In addition it is built on the "Electron" framework using web technologies.

Nope, it's made with electron (and html, js, css, react), https://electronjs.org/

And I believe they use react native for the mobile apps https://facebook.github.io/react-native/

You wouldn't want to deal with audio with C or C#. C++ has probably the best audio lib i have seen so far especially OpenAL.

Depending on the version you use they use different things i believe. I cannot check the web version but the desktop installed version do use C++ as the audio library. You can see the libs in use when playing with some programming tools if you need like me to record whatever is recorded and played in the library. They did change some code back in March as my code doesn't work anymore but i guess they simply updated some dll so there is new signature to it. I haven't used it in a long while as now i use skype for work instead and third party recording app works great with skype.

You are right, React is very likely for the mobile apps.

It's likely that it uses react for both platforms. It doesn't make a ton of sense to me to use a framework for one platform and not both when they both have a same language (JS/node in this case). 

 

React isn't just for web or mobile, it can be used anywhere JS is used (including desktop applications with stuff like electron)
