I sent a poll to the APS grad students to determine what language(s) they use in their daily work and which they'd be comfortable teaching.
IDL is still clearly dominant, with python second. Matlab and mathematica are, to me surprisingly, prevalent as well.
Far more students are comfortable teaching IDL than any other language.
There's a large dispersion in the version control software preference, with mercurial and dropbox as the winners. Mercurial has a strong following among enzo/yt users, who make up a large fraction of those who use version control at all.
