F# guts plus a C# outer layer might be a >reasonable compromise. One more language to add to your list is Lua. A lot of game addons are made in Lua because it plays nicer with C than most others. People often use the Lua for rules and C for implementing those rules. In my opinion Lua is the best *language* in the world, but because of Python's spectacularly useful and reliable Standard Library, I use Python.
