What house design is most suitable for people to live in?

Oh, wait! Different people live in different places with different climates, cultures, geography and available building materials! Maybe there is no one design that is best!

And so it is with programming languages...

I tend to gravitate toward C++, and I suspect that most embedded projects that use object-oriented or object-based techniques use C++. But I know that in the 80's and 90's Tektronix used Smalltalk almost exclusively for its instruments, I know that Ada has a strong following in the military and aerospace world, and I know that Java, for all its warts and bumps in an embedded environment, shouldn't be ruled out.

If you're working on a specific project perhaps you should outline some of its requirements (size, cost, speed, real timeliness, etc.) That will get you closer to an answer for your situation.
