I'm not really sure of what you mean by "a web language but:
* if you mean "a language in which it's possible to write a website,  
then erlang works (yaws, erlyweb, mochi*)
* if you mean "a language made to create websites (php, coldfusion)  
then definitely not
* if you mean "a language in which writing websites is enjoyable  
(python+django, ruby+rails) then I'd tend to say no, but I'm sure  
others will disagree.

And in any case, Erlang doesn't bundle website-related stuff in the  
stdlib. It's not "web ready out of the box", that's not its main usage  
domain.
