If you're serious, or for those who may indeed be in a bit of an echo chamber, the Tiobe index, while it may have much to criticize, is at least approximately correct: http://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ Which yields Java being larger than C and C++ combined, which are the next two. Then Python. Then probably a long list of things whose order should not be taken too literally. All I'm trying to show here is that, yes, Java, C, and C++ are still the dominant languages. This is shown by a lot of other metrics too.
