C#

C# is a language developed by Microsoft, originally released in 2000 as C# 1.0. It is gradually updated every few years, and is connected to the .NET Framework.

C# Advantages

Near-Native speed
Can call native functions without a "Interface".
Portable to WinNT, Mono (Open source .NET framework for Win, Mac, Linux)
Easy to learn

C# Tradeoffs

Not actually native code
Has to use custom namespace SysWin32 { [DllImport("user32.dll", EntryPoint = "MessageBox", CharSet = Unicode)] int MessageBox(void* hWnd, wchar_t* lpText, wchar_t* lpCaption, unsigned int uType); } code to import DLL.
C-C++ style Syntax.

Overall

C# is the best language for programming this game because of it's speed, usage, and vast amount of libraries for it.
