Mostly true, but last time I worked in game development I also wrote 
tools. I used Lua whenever possible to save time and effort, but even 
for simple image file manipulation I often had to resort to C/C++.
I remember having to write horrible Lua bit ops workarounds just to be 
able to make small changes to data files.
