JHipster
JHipster, much like Spring initializr, is a generator to create a boilerplate backend application, but also with an integrated front end implementation in React, Vue or Angular. In their own words, it "Is a development platform to quickly generate, develop, & deploy modern web applications & microservice architectures."

InfluxDB

I've been waiting for a (popular) low-code movement to hit the backend. Right now we still seem to start every project with - auth,connections,server, etc..
Something like https://github.com/oshalygin/gqlgen-pg-todo-example but easier and more tied into everything already.
Effectively instead of hand coding up the stack, there would be this server that you install and you get auth (implying a user model), GQL, and all you have to do is make the database and define a special file that tells the DB what is viewable or restricted and how that connects to the user.
The package would be 100% open source but would have like modules you could enable to connect it to auth0 or use a pre-created schema.
That's the stuff that should have been turned to low code by now and I still don't see much progress.
We have to start doing like those Soccer Mom Facebook groups and put something like: "please use the magnifier glass[0] to search if your question hasn't been asked before"

There are many open-source no-code tools so you can gain full control over your data/application with them as well as contribute into the source code.
For instance, you can deploy an admin panel with https://www.getmotoradmin.com/ (plug) and save a lot of time building custom internal tools.
I'm not sure where the "confusion" about your options is coming from because Delphi (Object Pascal) still exists. You can get the Free Community Edition from here- https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/starter/free-dow...
If a person knows Delphi/Pascal, there is no need for them to use Visual Basic 6, unless that was their feeling about such. There are several Object Pascal options to choose from, where if a person was previously exposed to Pascal/Turbo Pascal/Delphi, they would be able to get back up to speed very quickly.
As you mentioned Gambas, maybe you are thinking completely free and open-source, which Object Pascal has such too. The most obvious choice would be Free Pascal with the Lazarus IDE. For those that don't know or are confused, Delphi is a dialect of the Object Pascal programming language (check Wikipedia or Embarcadero website to verify). So the closest dialect of Object Pascal to what is used in Delphi (the IDE), would be Free Pascal/Lazarus. You can even import and convert Delphi projects (including Turbo Pascal) to Free Pascal/Lazarus. You can get Free Pascal/Lazarus from below:
https://www.lazarus-ide.org/index.php?page=downloads
https://github.com/LongDirtyAnimAlf/fpcupdeluxe
(this is a special cross-platform installer)
There are also other dialects of Object Pascal that are free and open-source, such as PascalABC, which is a variation for .NET. You can check it out here- https://github.com/pascalabcnet/pascalabcnet
JHipster (https://www.jhipster.tech/) goes a bit beyond that. From my reading, its basic functionality is taking in either interactive command line inputs or theor custom DSL, and spitting out DDL for a MySQL DB, Spring Boot backend, and Angular frontend.
