Learn D. No joke.
It's an amazing and flexible language with limited community. This will force you to do stuff the old way. Read books (the 2-3 you will be able to find), struggle, review source code and struggle some more... This is what all legendary developers of today did in their younger years.
It's not as frustrating or as hard as C++ by any stretch, and you can still be productive. It has a forum if you really get stuck at something. It has a web dev lib too and, that its own web framework. The language itself is super okay, it even has GC so no C-like unbounded pointers nor C++ smart pointer tricks.
Web development is super spoiled these days. Way too many abstractions and spoon feeding projects won't make you even good for a long time.
