I always tell web developers I teach that the language of the internet isn’t JavaScript it’s C++.
Web devs are just users playing in a C++ dev’s program. ;)

For the language of the web I'd probably nominate HTML.
For the language of the internet it's a lot less clear to me.
In any case, Rust is basically C++ 2.0 to me because it is very much in the spirit of C++.
It is kind of ironic that Rust will outlive Firefox as Mozzilla's legacy.
A C++ compiler outputs machine code that runs on a raw cpu if you want it to. The os providing a virtual cpu is just an optional extra and so irrelevant.
That is not true for someone writing php or js or anything that runs in an interpreter. C/OS/Kernel are not actually the interpreter for C++, or they are, but only in the same way that the bare hardware is. C++ is the final interpeter layer besides assembly.
