What is C associated with if it isn't "server side". It must be be server side, you can't exactly compile and run C code "client side".

Sorry, my fault for being unclear. When I said server-side, I meant languages used for creating dynamic web sites rather than for writing web server software.

Obviously, C is used for writing server software like Apache and Nginx. And also used for implementing interpreters for dynamic languages like PHP.

However, my impression(which may be incorrect) is that C isn't normally used for creating dynamic web sites in the same way as PHP or Python. Hence, why I put it in the category of languages not typically associated with web development.

Likely true. FWIW, there is a web framework for C++.

https://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt

Also just googled for "C++ web framework", there are others like TreeFrog, which seems to be updated this year.

Don't know more as of now.
