Re: "Recommended Gemini server"
If you like go and build your own stuff checkout this net/http style module. Supports titan as well, with the example you can implement anything.

i was using molly brown, because it is written in go. it supports cgi. but then i wanted virtual hosts and, most importantly, reverse proxy, and i realized i need to use gmid. so i switched to gmid.
i think you need to build your server by hand from the source code anyway.

@Addison I’m not very keen of Lua I don’t remember much but I’ve used awesome WM in the past and remember Lua having some quirks like indexes in array starting from 1.
@ibannieto and @norayr I’ve used gmid in the past and remember it doing chroot so, it will probably require privileged user. I’m not sure about it, though.
Thanks for suggestions! I’ve decided to go with GmCapsule as I think Python is good match for my use case and skills, code of this server is super easy to understand, and migration was almost painless.

I have written my own, which fits all your requirements except the choice of language. I don't have it publicly published since I'm a little self-conscious about my code, but I'll share it if you'd like. Just message me if you would like it. (It also handles Titan, if that's something you would like.)
The only problem is that it is written in C. But it is small, fast, and very light on resources. The only dependency is OpenSSL (which you almost certainly already have installed). And it is quite easy to compile; I can provide you a script to do that.
i used this one - https://sr.ht/~int80h/gemserv/ though it's a bit outdated, and i'm working on the fork since forever i think :D

Thanks @eriounious and @byte. But I've already installed GmCapsule and I've used it for months without problems. So, I prefer not touching something that is working without compelling reason to do so. But somebody else might be interested in this thread.
Recommended Gemini server — Hi, I’ll be migrating my server to bigger machine, and I want to use Debian. The problem is that I don’t see any Gemini server packaged in official repositories, so I might choose any, and got lost in the process. Can anyone point me which Gemini servers meet my wishlist and will be best choice? Currently I’m using Stargazer, simply because it was available in Alpine Linux repositories. My wishlist: some kind of CGI/SCGI/FastCGI support, as I want to write some cool...
