[Lazarus] Freepascal for web

Not sure if this question should go for fpc-freepascal list or 
fpc-others list.

I'm starting a new project, a simple accounting system, with the data in 
a server in internet. It is an experimental pet project, just to try new 
technologies (new for me). Although it is just an experimental pet 
project, I want to use technologies that allow to scale in the web.

I don't want to do it in PHP (I got enough of it years ago), so I want 
to consider a more advanced language.
First, I thought about something with a python backend, but I've read 
that it doesn't scale well because it doesn't support multithreads.

I am almost decided to node.js in the backend and vue.js in the 
frontend. Node.js is what almost everybody uses and has a lot of 
libraries/modules and future. And vue.js looks powerful and simple with 
a nice learning curve.

But I'm not still happy. Why can't I use a native compiled program for 
the backend?, it should faster, and more robust that any script, 
dynamic, JIT language. Pascal for this is my first thought as it was my 
first love. I'm thinking about a freepascal backendĀ  and vue.js frontend 
, or even a three-tier with json messages between frontend in vue.js and 
server.

Have you any experience in freepascal for web?
Any hints, suggestions or advice?
