Not really, there is a reason why the Java pivot into the server during the early's 2000's, it wasn't only Sun, IBM, Oracle, Bea marketing, it was definitly much better experience than mod_tcl or mod_perl without JTI[0], CGI/ISAPI in C or C++.

Likewise with ASP.NET on Windows land, as ASP with VB, and C++ alongside COM wasn't that great either.
