Troy,

You are correct, often what someone codes in C++ can be coded in another language
much faster.  There are many times that coding speed is what is important.  But
the C++ code, if coded well, out preform the other language everytime.
Programming languages are like anything else there is no one perfect language.
The secret to success is understanding enough of them to know which one is right
for which job.

P.S.  I have done some C/C++ based CGI scripts in my past.  With languages like
PHP and the other scripting languages, I will never write another CGI script in
C/C++!  (unless I need to do something low level where C/C++ is the only way)
