What is the best language to write a game in?

Question

Game development

Well, I decided to write a small game here. So I never wrote games for PC. I worked only with js.
So I decided to write a game without an engine. But the question is in what language to write? I brought out several languages:
1. C ++ is a very good language, as many say, but undesirable as for me.
2.C# is available only for Windows, I think it will be a problem to port it to other systems.
3.java well, they seem to say a good language, I don’t know
4.lua, honestly, I don’t know scripting
. Please help me choose. But in general, you can offer some kind of your own language.

Answer 1

Well, in C++ it's an unreal engine, c# unity. For a beginner, in my opinion, unity is better.

Answer 2

it depends on what kind of game, for 2d in a retro style, Java is quite a ride and there is less struggle with cross-platform, as an example https://github.com/raydac/battleships-resurrection
