One note about the stats on that site: the reason for the fast rise of Objective C in the rankings is that that's the language used for iPhone & iPad Apps, in conjunction with Apple's COCOA API (application programming interface). I've never used it, but since it is based on C, I probably could. You could say it competes with C++ in providing object-oriented programming to C.
