The author knows the intention of the language better than anyone else, but that doesn't mean it isn't especially game dev oriented.

Is C++ a game oriented language because most game engines and games are written in it?

		Yeah oriented might be the wrong word here. "Surprisngly well suited for the job" is more like it. It was very ergonomic. In fact, I ended up translating my Odin game to several other languages and the experience was quite painful. (That's one way to measure the quality of a language! How much it hurts to port code out of it.)
