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.
