Widespread?  I can't believe it would (today) be anything but C++ !

I couldn't disagree more.  Perhaps if you a procedual programmer
making the move to Object Oriented programming . . . but if you are
learning it as your first language, properly taught, C++ isn't any
more difficult than any other 'first' programming language.  In fact
it is our experience that novice programmers succeed in accomplishing
more sophisticated tasks earlier in C++ that other languages we have
taught!
