On the flipside slow languages (Python included) are used to script some AAA games.

And no language other than C++ has really found traction for stuff like engines; not even Rust...

What AAA games use Python?

I think Eve Online uses python.

They do, and its caused them a lot of headache, probably was a mistake. If they would have at least used something like C#/Java/Go (go didn't exist at the time) they might not have had to do time-slowdowns to make large battles possible.

Then again maybe it would have slowed down development and never gotten off the ground at all!

IIRC, Eve used Stackless Python, not normal CPython.

Civ6 btw

I thought only Civ IV used python.
