No real leaders. Alot of "engines" being created which allow games to be programmed without understanding the nuts-n-bolts of the subroutines. Lots of librarys out which allow people to program the overhead in anything they want.
If anything, Id have to say that Im seeing alot of java but thats probably a wrong impression just because so many of those are "dead ends" for me. A game that sounds great then I find out that its written as a browser game.  Not very marketable.
C/C++ are probably still good recommendations for someone who wants to get into a programming "group" who wants to develop a large project. Not that its the only thing they would use but because they tend to always need a couple C'ers to maintain subroutine librarys.
There are a number of Languages where the advantage is in list handling, or fuzzy logic needed for AI. Those are becomming popular for games.
