I genuinely don’t want to hear about python, javascript, java nor c# where games (AAA games) are involved.
Go here Google Publishes C++, Go, Java and Scala Performance Benchmarks - ReadWrite,
see how some of the languages compare to C++.
Why would anyone choose anything but C++ for AAA game development is beyond me.
But it is not even about the performance.
The deeper you go with coding the more you starting realize that C# or Java are not only not easier but lots of things are far more difficult to do with them than with C++.
Guys, is C++ perfect? Absolutely not. Is it better for games development than C# or Java or any other modern language. Without any doubt.

Well main reason why they did that was to let users to play with the code and “mod” the game without needs of giving out header files, i reamber hearing developer interviews back then saying you can modify game whatever you like thanks to python. Same goes with UnrealScript, in UE1 editor even have text editor for them
