Why C++ for Unreal 4?

I use the tools that get the job done, but I’m rarely the guy deciding what those tools should be for a product.

Python, PHP, Unrealscript, Javascript and other slow motion creatures will not get the job done in AAA. Forget about it.
This is gaming industry, every tick matters and nothing beats C++ - get use to it and the sooner the better.
