Answer 1

No language. It is primarily designed as a static and front-end proxy server.

The server itself is written in C and supports C-compatible plug-ins, but the plug-in architecture is heavily geared towards interfacing with other servers on the back end, not to add, e.g., PHP support.

Ok. then how can we use it in best possible way as a web server – Cohbath

@AliRaza: I don't understand your question. I've explained the normal use of nginx. Are you after something more? – Desideratum

Answer 2

WAMP is not a webserver. *W*indows *A*pache *M*ySQL *P*HP. Usually web-server do not came with language support. They either have modules, for apache it's like mod_php, mod_python, mod_passenger, etc, for nginx there's no module, you'll need standalone fastCGI or PHP-FPM.

So basically nginx can support any language with fastCGI or fastCGI-like interface available.
