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++.

People may use C++ techniques but the most CPUs sold are 8-bit based, with limited ROM and RAM.

So C++ will not work on most 8-bitCPU based systems. But C++ techniques could be used in the design of such systems.

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.
