My preference was C (which followed years of FORTRAN) for
geophysical applications. I did some C++ but never cared for the
syntax.
I noted your comments on Python, and while I haven't any
experience with the 2 -> 3 transition, I am inclined to prefer
it. In fact, almost all my work is now in that language. You
can see some examples at my page (below) in the SOFTWARE section.
