2) From Wikipedia "BCPL is no longer in common use" - that kills it for me

3) BASIC, not bad but done to death on calculators, and not as popular as C for embedded systems development

4) PPL, only used on the Prime

5) Lua and micropython, not familiar with them, seems like more trouble than it's worth

6) I did a bit of systemRPL programming on the 50g back in the day. Nice language, but I'm not convinced it's better than C

7) FORTRAN. No comment

Nobody pointed out what we do really need: COBOL.
