I wanted the answer to a similar question for myself to be f#/fable - but it turned out that getting up and running on Linux with dot.net core and cli tooling was a bit convoluted.
I did manage to bundle a ~32mb hello world with dependencies/runtime (with cross-compilation, yay!) - but I couldn't get giraffe or any other server (framework) running in a reasonable amount of time. (Side-note, I'd appreciate a pointer to a f# Web server stack that works in the above scenario - something light that's appropriate to build a json-api server in).
Many tutorials appeared to be a year out of date, with wrong details - leading to code snippets not working, things not building, dependencies not installing.
Since I know ocaml is solid, I now am a strong believer in reasonml (which fixes some of the oddities with ocaml, making it more pleasant - in a way a little more like standard ml).
Reasonml has a strong Web app side, and compiles to sane js.
The other great option is clojure/clojure script. It's been dogged a bit by jvm (startup) overhead - not sure how/if graal/truffle AOT compilation will improve that.
