Well, everyone and their mother will blindly choose C++, like mindless Nazis following Hitler, as is expected.
However, you really need to try every other language before you decide which is right for you. For example, I like VB. It's a myth that its slow, you just have to know how to code properly in it.
Now, if you want your game to be compilable in other OS's, you'd need C++...but who uses other OS's anyway. 1% of the population?
