Yes, Google and many others use scripting language, mainly because they were developed from ground up to be suitable for web development (PHP) or have an extensive set of appropriate libraries added (Python, Perl). That by itself doesn't mean they wouldn't do it in pure C++ if the right framework was available and they had the skills in-house... Also, think about YouTube and Facebook - they were developed as "hacks" - get out something quick and working, think about performance later. So now they just have legacy, maybe they would have chosen a different technology under different circumstances.
