C because, a) every language we're currently using is a reaction to C (or a reaction to a reaction to C, etc.), and b) it is still going strong in areas such as Linux development, and is enjoying a huge resurgence in areas such as Arduino.

You're saying people are moving away from C++ to C for the Arduino? What's your guess for reason of the resurgence?
