Java and .NET are also used a lot.

Python more (though I have had to refactor completely incomprehensible Python written by bioinformacians).

Depends on the company.

We have some customers with zero lines of Python code, but they do use R and Tableau.

All the software used to talk to the devices and do ETL processing or graphical analysis is then written in Java or .NET, depending on the department and their set of OSes.
