I find it ironic that the author says that you should just shut up and make stuff without taking his own advice (the part about making stuff will probably follow soon).

Having written a C(++) web-app (using CGI), I'm ok with writing in C++ (it's not that bad), but the advantages of using a language more suited for web development are not negligible. The author would probably find this out the hard way (if/when (s)he gets to making stuff).
