Acting like CGI is dead was the reason I (feel like I) wasted three years with PHP. It's not, and if the thought of "programming" webpages in C/C++ sounds appealing to you, you should definitely check it out. The obvious advantages: Total (binary) control of data streams and structures and execution as well as (nigh-)zero runtime overhead. The obvious disadvantages: Static and rigid, not well suited for rapidly changing requirements (unless they are coded in), longer development times and increased complexity.
