Hello.
And you can clarify the programming languages that are used in game dev (and the scope of these games). According to this plate , only c++ is suitable for a game dev - is that true?

C++, Python, C# - PC
C++, Java - Android
Objective-C, Swift - iOS
etc.
It all depends on what platform you want to gamedev for.

Lua is one of the most used, as far as I know. And as an additional (to C / C ++, usually in large games like WoT, etc.), and as an independent one (usually by indie gamedevs) - both for the desktop (for example, the Love2D engine) and for smartphones (Corona SDK).
also - Python (Pygame, RenPy, Kyvy, etc. engines), for browser games - javascript.
This is if we consider scripting languages.
And so in any language you can develop a game, even in Haskell - https://wiki.haskell.org/Game_Development :)
