A lot of languages have a web framework that sits behind a server 
written in a different language.  .NET powers a ton of sites and 
applications and usually runs on IIS which is written in C++.  
Also if I were to use vibe then I would prolly run it behind a 
reverse proxy like nginx.  This is actually pretty standard way 
of deploying apps like say a Django, Flask, etc.... Nothing wrong 
with that and that by no means makes Python a useless language 
for the web.  Even Digital Oceans guide for Node and Python apps 
have you setup nginx as a reverse proxy.  Also Plays uguide shows 
how to setup nginx as a proxy.
