> When you can be just as productive as a web developer in c++ let me know.

I used to work at OkCupid. The entire web application is written in C++ [1] and I was quite proficient with the language even before joining the company. Then I joined a medium sized game studio where C++ was also the most common language, and as you can guess we also decided to built the game landing pages and user management system using C++ with Boost and an in-house template system.

I am not OP but you asked to let you know if someone is a productive web developer in C++, well, I am.
