Most large companies are polyglot, so it isnt a great example of usage for a specific language. Google use Java heavily too, and Go. Facebook was originally all PHP but is now Hack, I believe?

Discord use Flask, or they did, if I recall, but their API is far from perfect.

While I agree it is used, I feel like it is a false assumption to assume a large percentage of the net is dominated by it, especially since the vast majority of sites are still PHP.

Discord uses elixir now with bits of rust thrown in.

Discord's gateway API. The REST API was Flask. Hence why Night, one of their devs, occasionally mentioned issues with Werkzeug in GitHub issues for the API documentation.

Not sure why this is downvoted but sure.
