That is to say, which language do most large enterprises use primarily and regularly hire people for.

My hunch says Java with the experience I've had job searching but I can't help but feel (or hope) Python is becoming more prevalent.

I would also say Java, followed by C#

What do you mean by "corporate"? In the past, I'd have wagered C#, Java second, though I'd consider JavaScript / TypeScript to be quite more frequently utilized. Go / Rust / C++ are always good choices.

I would think javascript/html/css are pretty big. at least as a secondary type thing.
