I hang out on AVRFreaks - an AVR and AVR32 support forum - quite a bit.
I personally think C++ is the language of the devil but I'd say that
around 50% of the people I talk to on 'freaks think otherwise. It's
certainly the language of choice.
There's also a surprising number (~5%?) using Java on a small JVM (eg
JamVM) and about the same using Python.
Of course a largish number don't really need to write any code at all.
They just need to wire up existing programs to do what they want then
maybe glue a bit of PHP between that and the user so it doesn't /look/
like Linux from the outside.
