Languages for web development

Apart from HTML, CSS, JS, PHP and SQL, are there other languages that can be used for web development? I believe I have learned quite the amount from SoloLearn but I wish I can expand my language pool.

Actually stuff like C# , C++ ,etc can be used to linked to your HTML code, you can search about those things online. [By the way in case someone tells you jQuery, jQuery is a library for JS, NOT a programming language]

Wait so those C languages can be used to link HTML codes? But how? And what are they for? Are they for DOM?

I'm personally not quite sure, but yes, they can be linked. To link C# and HTML, use ASP.NET. To link C++ with HTML, I remember its CGI. What are they used for? They are generally used to make webpage more dynamic. But JS is mostly prefered for the job so you would less often see people using some other languages to link with HTML.

Thanks for the new information. I can see how JS does all the job for dynamic web pages, not mentioning how jQuery plays a huge role too. I guess, I don't have to learn more languages since I'm not really fond of those C languages that only show us texts not even colors lol.
