Ask HN: What is the most corporate programming language?

[armajid]

That is to say, which language do most large enterprises use primarily and regularly hire people for.

My hunch says Java with the experience I've had job searching but I can't help but feel (or hope) Python is becoming more prevalent.

Java 100%. The product manager of programming languages.

Nobody ever gets fired for writing Java boilerplate.

What do you mean by "corporate"? In the past, I'd have wagered C#, Java second, though I'd consider JavaScript / TypeScript to be quite more frequently utilized. Go / Rust / C++ are always good choices.

[armajid]

Corporate meaning big businesses; not startups or SMEs.

[sharemywin]

I would think javascript/html/css are pretty big. at least as a secondary type thing.

Java followed by C#

I would also say Java, followed by C#
