I do for outside-asking-for-help. At my current client internal communications have to be self-hosted so neither Slack nor Discord is an option; if I were still at the startup where I worked previously (where teams chose their own tools) I'd certainly be pushing Discord.

Discord feels very responsive and lightweight. Anyone knows what their stack looks like?

They have some fantastic dev blogs[1]. Their backend seems to mostly be elixir.

Elixir for the backend as others have said, and the frontend is React on Electron.

Elixir for the backend, they have around 5 million concurrent users.
