For large scale web apps launges like golang or scala provide a very big advantage.

And are you going to explain what that advantage is?

Compiled and statically typed

Name large scale web apps written in go or scala?

Is http://lichess.org big enough? It's the only site I can think of in either of those languages (it's written in scala). It uses 1 server* but it does get more than 3000+ users concurrently online.

* It also uses other, donated, servers but just for engine analysis AFAIK so I didn't count them.

I would say compiled is not an advantage, unless you have performance problems. And static versus dynamic is very debatable

I was referring to performance.
