> Hardly anybody directly programs their web aware stuff in C. More than you might think. Especially a lot of Fortune 500 companies tend to have their own frameworks programmed in C. They're generally not interested in rapid prototyping, but rather in performance, tools and most of all code stability (i.e. you don't want your website to depend on the security/updates of an interpreter). Gradually this is moving to Java (and .NET) for the reasons you mentioned, but it's a slow process.
