Alright, I did some research myself. The server is closed-source and its architecture seems to be a secret, as well as the programming languages. But since it's been written by the Durov brothers, who previously developed VK (the Russian facebook), it's very likely that a lot of parts are written in C/C++, since that's the technology stack they seem to be using mostly.
Now get ready for a sensation. Ever heard of TON, the Telegram Open Network? It's the Durlov's blockchain project and it's huuuuuuge! It's 1.7 Billion Dollar huge, to be precise. That's what some rich investors in the Bay area paid the Durlov brothers in an 2018 private ICO. Check out the white paper to see all the things they've promised, e.g. the blockchain architecture contains a master blockchain and as many worker blockchains as necessary, the consensus algorithm is PoS, and the promised speed is amazing (more transactions per second than Mastercard and Visa). Too ambitious, you say? Well, they better keep their promise, because one of the ICO terms is that TON must go live until November 2019 or else they will have to refund the 1.7 Billion Dollars ...or at least what's left.
