Interesting your brought that up.  Here is Google search results:

C programming language      ==  About 18,200,000 results
C++ programming language    ==  About 6,030,000 results
D programming language      ==  About 5,950,000 results
java programming language   ==  About 9,130,000 results
python programming language ==  About 3,720,000 results
ruby programming language   ==  About 354,000 results
go programming language     ==  About 12,700,000 results


and here are the exact search results:

"C programming language"      ==  About 902,000 results
"C++ programming language"    ==  About 371,000 results
"D programming language"      ==  About 75,800 results
"java programming language"   ==  About 1,250,000 results
"python programming language" ==  About 238,000 results
"ruby programming language"   ==  About 132,000 results
"go programming language"     ==  About 116,000 results
