All of the recent high-scale data infrastructure projects I've been involved in are written in C++17 or C++20. Mostly fast-twitch analytical database engines and related data processing systems. This is still the go-to language for that kind of systems software, no other programming language is as feature-rich and expressive for that purpose. The other language that gets used a lot is Python for tooling and similar.

I'd argue that both Rust and Java are competitive here
