For the UK High Performance Computing (HPC) field, there was a White Paper published last year by Andrew Turner analysing CPU-usage by programming language on the UK National HPC Facility, ARCHER, and trends compared to its forebears:
http://www.archer.ac.uk/documentation/white-papers/app-usage/UKParallelApplications.pdf There's some interesting analysis in the paper, but the bottom line (Table 3) is that the fraction of the CPU time for each language is: (2010) (2015) Fortran 63% 69% C++ 9% 7% C 0% 6% Unknown 29% 19% These are, of course, skewed by the handful of parallel HPC codes people use a lot (10 programs account for ~66% of usage).
