Wow. I'm maintaining a math-heavy desktop app in C++ and it's killing me with its ponderousness. Who the eff is using C++ for web development?

I am involved in two startups and both use C++.
1. Video codecs (encoding/transocing) and IP video streaming. This is for my "day job" startup where we do IP video security.
2. Pikluk Browser (downloadable from pikluk.com) is written in C++ because that project requires a fairly low-level Win32 hacking.
And even our Rails web application uses external C-libraries for image manipulation.
Google.
There's code written in C and Ocaml in my current startup, but I didn't write it, so I didn't tick it off in the poll. But I could easily see us moving into an area where we'd want to do some back-end processing in a faster language than Python.
