I didn't say Jai is winning. I wrote "I think Odin or Jai are 
going to win" -- Its just a prediction. I don't mean tomorrow or 
next year, either. C++ will dominate for a number of years (and 
maybe some more) but IF any language starts to gain momentum in 
this field, I dont think its going to be D, Rust, C#, Go, etc

Jai and Odin are targeting the games industry (primarily) and 
they make it very clear what the language will and will not do 
out of the box.

We shall see...

However,
  - Jai is being developed for a moderately sized game (I believe 
it was called sokoban)
  - Odin is also used for a particle effects generator named 
EmberGen (might I add, is being used in production)
