When I say web development, I mean specifically server-side programming rather than client-side programming.
Examples of languages that are associated with server-side programming (some more strongly than others): PHP, Python, Perl, Javascript, Java, Go, Ruby, Haskell, Erlang, Scala, C#, ASP.NET, Lua (and no doubt others I may have missed).
But is anyone using a language that isn't normally associated with server-side programming? For example: Ada, C, D, Eiffel, Smalltalk, Oberon, Pascal, Basic, Prolog...or some other language?
If you are using a language not normally associated with web development, what are your reasons for using that language? Is it familiarity or fluency? It for speed or performance reasons? Is it because of unique features you miss in other languages? (Or the way a feature is implemented?)
Is there a lack of web-related libraries for your language, and if so has it ever been a problem?
