C++ is an interesting language for web development: hyperfast but prone to failing suddenly unless you have rock solid programming skills and use profilers/analysers extensively. But when it works, oh man. Shovels data around and generates files at insane speeds.

@RememberMe C++11/14 introduced some great features for keeping the gun away from your feet. Its still an expert-friendly language.
-
@Hastouki yup, agreed. I use C++ 11/14 almost every day, foot-shooting has definitely decreased. Which is why I consider it viable for things like web programming.
Even with the new features it's always a good idea to run them analysers, though. You never know. -
@RememberMe I run either perf or Mac instruments over my code fairly regularly. Also love the clang static analysis tools.

Clang static analysis <3
Also check out PVS Studio and Valgrind (you probably know them already, but eh).
