I wouldn't minimize the amount of C(++), or the amount of mis-counting for jobs where C(++) is a desired skill, but not primary in the job role. There are a lot of jobs out there working on embedded systems where C/C+ are king. Though I do hope that Rust gains more traction in that space to avoid certain classes of bugs.

I would guess that most development involves JS, as I would say that most development is directed in web applications of some kind. Though there are backend languages as well. For the types of development jobs I'm used to looking for, I see a lot more C# and Java, with some uptick in Node and Python. Excluding PHP (because shiver).

I have several friends who work in the embedded space, and that is not small by any means.
