The majority of langauges web frameworks are written in do not have linked lists, at all.

Python doesn't. Ruby doesn't. Java doesn't.

Basically, anything written in Elixir Phoenix, or erlang, so: Discord, Pagerduty, Bet365, the entire NHS. If you're a startup, in SF, there's a good chance your payments goes through Brex. You might be using Slab for your documentation, you might use Boston's MBTA, etc. Probably a not-insignificant chunk of what you do as a startup at some level depends on a framework that uses linkedlists. Do you use RabbitMQ or Riak? Linked lists are the primary list datatype for that system.
