Rust, Python, Java, Ruby, Scala, Swift to start with. These are languages with very wide adoption. Objective-C is very Smalltalk-like, but it is being phased out for Swift.

These became popular after Moore's law made it possible many years after C/Unix had become the standard.
And they became just good enough that more people didn't go into Lisp/Smalltalk instead.
