You are not able to do big game without scripting support these days.
Companies uses Python, Lua or their own scripting engine (that is
usually worse).

Generally people hate changes, their don't want to be novice again. So
they want to stay with C forever.
I like Python and Pygame. It is fast and fun to program Pygame game.
I write mostly Free Software games, but my approach for commercial game
would be to write functional game in Python and then rewrite few loops
to C++.
