No, not crazy. Just really tedious. I've been there and even webdev in C++ was magnitudes more comfortable than webdev in C.
But webdev is a solved and trivial problem. More so it is an I/O-bound problem. So you can use the slowest language in the world as long as it boosts your productivity or makes your life super easy. (Sure, there are edge cases but 99.9% of webdevs never will be in the situation of having thousands of requests a second.)
