Many browser rendering engines are built in C++, so C++ is parsing the HTML. My general point is that many web/internet techs that web devs interact with have C++ one abstraction level below for actual implementation.

I agree with you, and it amuses me to no end when I (rarely) use Wt to make a simple webpage. C++ to js (very roughly) rendered by c++.

All widely used HTML engines are C++. Of the up and coming ones, Servo is Rust and Ladybird is C++ potentially moving to Rust.

In any case, Rust is basically C++ 2.0 to me because it is very much in the spirit of C++.

Rust is a tiny portion of Firefox, and sadly it is in the way of irrelevance.

It is kind of ironic that Rust will outlive Firefox as Mozzilla's legacy.

Yes I said “many” because if I didn’t qualify it someone would mention Rust.
