I'm starting a startup with Scala and Akka. I'm doing this because I tried doing the same thing with Node and before then Java, but both the language and ecosystem could not help me (solo founder) move fast enough or give me confidence that my architecture was going to last a couple years down the road. I also didn't want to make things "just work" and refactor later, because I think that's just overall terrible advice. The cost of going back and rewriting your architecture is enormous. Might as well use tools you feel confident can scale with your startup than hack something together and have a complete mess on your hands.
