To me, dominant is defined by lines of code currently in production.
The difference between my example vs. what you defined, is that hype and/or popularity determine what people use for _new_ projects. But that doesn't really assess how dominant a language has been in the past (or even in production currently).
Java is another dominant language that you might not use for a new project. Same with C.

- renox 6y ago> Java is another dominant language that you might not use for a new project. Same with C I would very much consider using Java for a new project, same with C(1) if the project is in "real time" (I think that C++ hides too much things under the rug which can create latency issue). 1: Zig isn't ready yet to be a replacement
