Re:Poll: What languages are you using to build your startup?

Why did you assume web development? Sure, many people here build web sites, but don't forget that such startups still represent a relatively small fraction of total amount of software written.
I am involved in two startups and both use C++.
1. Video codecs (encoding/transocing) and IP video streaming. This is for my "day job" startup where we do IP video security.
2. Pikluk Browser (downloadable from pikluk.com) is written in C++ because that project requires a fairly low-level Win32 hacking.
And even our Rails web application uses external C-libraries for image manipulation.
