Best programming language for video games?

Question

What is the best programming language for making video games?

Answer 1

Big budget studio games: C++

Phone app games: Java

Web game: HTML + CSS + JavaScript and maybe a backend language if it's multiplayer.

Indie game: whatever you want. C++ for detailed 3d on Unreal Engine, C# for simpler 3D or 2D on Unity engine. Game maker for pure 2D. Or you can say screw that and build a game with Python/Java/whatever.
