Obviously C# is by far the most common, but F# is disproportionately over-discussed on HN compared to its usage, and C# is disproportionately under-discussed.

Also, C# is used in Unity, for desktop apps, for console apps, for cloud processing, big data processing (especially in Azure), etc. Same goes for Java with Android and the entire Apache big data ecosystem.
