[DUPLICATE] Which language is the most popular for game programming??

Answer 1

Java

Answer 2

The most high-performance modern programming language is currently C++, and it is the language used by AAA companies for their proprietary game engines. However, for indie developers, creating their own game engine is quite a daunting task.

If you really want to code in C++ but do not have the time to create an engine, Unreal Engine 4 might interest you.

If you want to create games quickly and simply, use Unity Engine. It does use C# as its main choice of programming language though. But most of the time, it performs almost as good as UE4 anyways.
