When I read the title I thought you were looking for languages that were designed for remote work, but on opening the question I saw you are looking for languages that are in demand for remote work …
I actually think that the former question is more interesting. What would a language look like, if it was designed specifically to address remote work?
And to answer your question, I was working two years in remote mode, for a team that was around 600 km away from me. We used Python almost exclusively, but it was not web development: it was a backend service for a mobile client. I love Python very much, but that experience showed me that using it in a distributed team requires a lot of discipline and a lot of code conventions. It is not easy to convey complex requirements over a phone line.

You’re right, that would be a more interesting question. Slightly less practical for my present need though :)
