I'm getting started writing my own nodes, and it would be super helpful to look at / edit / build upon the built-in nodes. Where are they stored?

Thanks,

    The built-in nodes are not written in Python but in Java, for speed reasons.

    The source is here.

    There are some examples of Python nodes on the forum as well.
