I've always found it interesting that OkCupid is built with C++, although they started it before 2001. http://www.okcupid.com/about/technology

OKWS is interesting to study because it's one of the few Staged, Event-Driven Architecture (SEDA) websites in well-known production use. Max Krohn's 2004 paper describing the design of OKWS is excellent reading[1].

With the rise of VMs, jails, containers etc it should be much easier for general webapps to adopt this architecture.
