Yours is more like it, but I think there's little point in including C++ in the lot. It hasn't ever really been used for web application development, at least not nearly to the same extent as the other languages in the original diagram.

By the time the Internet took off in the early 90s, Perl was already around and much more popular for this purpose.

If you're going for rather exotic languages (in the context of web application development) I think it would make more sense to include Common Lisp.



Apparently okcupid is coded in C++, and they're proud of that fact. It blows my mind.
