For me that would be C#, as it is the closest to Modula-3 ideas in mainstream computing, but I doubt many would agree, specially die hard C and C++ devs in some sub-communities, where knowing by heart Assembly opcodes is a reason to be proud of.

I guess we need something else everyone can agree upon.

Until then, the computing foundations will kept be being written in C++, until some big name decides to rewrite LLVM, GCC and VC++ into something else.
