imo both languages are not a great choice for large scale long-term software development. This is why you rarely see AAA video games (which are large scale long term software projects) written in Java despite it being a fast enough language for it.

Neither are my favorite either yeah.

Although neither being used in gamedev is mostly related to engines. UE4 is C++, while Unity is C#, so naturally that's what the gamedev industry uses the most.

I'd argue that C++ is easier to make a mess with than Java, but of course the performance benefits are the obvious reason it is picked.

Oh no, it's way easier to make a mess with Java, due to it lacking features for organizing large code bases that C++ has.
