I doubt it. C++ has been the standard for a long time now and what we're really talking about is scripting languages for higher-level stuff, not the actual game engine. On the one hand, yeah, C# is a good choice since Windows dominates the desktop market. But it's the sort of thing you can easily change and that users might have personal taste and preference for. I went and looked up all the major game engines I could think of: Blender: Python only CryEngine: Lua and C# Gamebryo: C++ only Unity: C# and Java (Boo is no longer supported) Unreal: C++ only (UnrealScript no longer supported) Amazon Lumberyard: Lua (maybe C++ too?) id Tech: C++ I was actually surprised at how common Lua was, but now that I think about it I have heard of it being used increasingly in games.
