Lua has LÖVE (https://love2d.org/), a 2D engine. Python has PyGame (http://www.pygame.org/). Both are cross platform interpreted languages. If you are planning to develop for mobile, unfortunately there's no cross platform.

I'm doing 3D games though, with OpenGL. Would definitely use LÖVE if I was doing 2D games.
