Inkscape itself is indeed written in C++ (it still includes some C parts, but new code should use C++).
However there are also other areas in which you could contribute (e.g. extensions or the website which are implemented in Python).
It would probably be easiest if you join us in chat (https://chat.inkscape.org/channel/team_devel) and tell us a bit in which areas you already have experience and in which areas you might be interested in, so we can give more specific pointers.
