I am trying to find the lightest possible language to program a web development application. I have been using PHP for 5 years and it seems to do the job - and is widely used out there - however C++ based web apps look really promising. I was really impressed by OkCupid (an online dating site) that was programmed entirely using C++ . I did a google on some C++web development frameworks and found "witty" or WT , a toolkit for C++. The only "bad" thing about it is that it seems to require a lot of syntax to put things together. When realistically comparing it with something like JSP and Java (which i used to use before extensively in University) , I dont see much of a difference in the work involved.The gains though, appear in the performance of the web app - as it seems more "light weight"  and less of a layer when interfacing with the web application server.

I am also trying to find something thats faster than Apache2.2, Tomcat and Lighttpd. It would be really nice to find something SO so SO lightweight , that does the job of Apache2.2.

So i was googling around and i found this link by IBM, and it looks like they really did their research (duh , its funded).

and it seems that there are a TON of them out there, but hardly any are TOO widely used to be "accepted" by companies / developers.
