You forgot the most popular language in the world right now:

Python: The Python Software Foundation

Turns out two of the best languages don't need corporate overlords to steer their development.

Not to mention C, C++, JS, PHP, bash. Hell there are so many great languages not controlled by big companies.

Alot of its current popularity is becasue big companies developed the libraries that make up the foundation of Ai with it.
