Most new application development is done in Java and C# (and perhaps JavaScript).

C++ is used for a long list of specialized tasks like embedded systems, games, in-memory computing, database systems, high performance scientific stuff, some low latency trading algos and a few core UI things like browsers. I don't consider any of those mainstream application development.
