Since I would say a very high percentage of CARBON development is
done using C++, my guess is that there will be more shipping apps
using C++ on Carbon than any other language (at least for a while
once the ports start really rolling in)./

No - they should in most likelihood be ported to carbon. But since
this is a cocoa development list, and not a carbon one, the 2
languages supported in cocoa (Java and ObjC) will be the ones most
talked about on this list.
At this time C++ development with Cocoa is extremely limited. Once
ObjC++ makes it back in to a build, it will be far more relevant to
this discussion. At this time however, C++ has very little
relevance to Cocoa developers in general.
