Back in the day we shipped software in ZX Spectrum and C64 BASIC, among other variants as well.

Wordpress powered by PHP is also the most widely deployed CMS.

Sounds like those technologies were pretty great for their day if they motivated a bunch of people to use them over boondoggle alternatives :shrug:
