I (actually, for real, no lie) program in BaCon. It's a BASIC-to-C transpiler, made by Peter van Eerten, the creator of GTK-server. Version 0.1 came out in 2009. For the last few years, a core group of devotees has been assisting him in its maintenance and in keeping it moving forward. Every year, he puts out several new releases.
For my use cases, including GAGOOT, I don't see the need for anything more complex, at least not on the server side. I don't care that BaCon is not popular. If I had to guess, I would say that less than a thousand people, globally, are using it for anything interesting, and that's just fine by me, because it's mature enough and small enough to be eminently hackable.
