Fortran and Cobol are two old and successful languages.
The oldest computer language still in use is Fortran, invented in 1957. The first computer language was assembly language, but the first high level programming language was Plankalkul.
Machine language.
Simula 67 (1967) was the first programming language designed that had the notion of objects, classes, inheritance, etc. in it. Smalltalk (1970s), influenced by Simula 67, was the first programming language designed with the actual idea of "object-oriented programming" in mind.
Plankalkul is the programming language that was designed by Konrad Zuse. It was the first real computer programming language used for engineering.
FORTRAN was the first high level programing language. developed in 1954.
Bjarne Stroustrup began developing the C++ programming language 1979. Dennis Ritchie developed the C programming language in 1972. Rear Admiral Grace Murray Hopper developed the first compiler for a computer programming language in the 1950s, which later led to the development of COBOL.
Plankalkül (Plan Calculus), created by Konrad Zuse for the Z3 computer in Nazi Germany, may have been the first programming language (other than assemblers). This was a surprisingly advanced programming language, with many features that didn't appear again until the 1980s.The first high-level programming language that we know of is the IBM Mathematical Formula Translating System, or Fortran for short.

The Unix operating system. The first versions of the Unix operating system were written in the "B" language, and later written in "C", which was invented in order to develop Unix on the PDP-11 machine.
which? what type? FORTRAN on the IBM 704 was the first high level language in 1954.

The first compiler was written by Grace Hopper, in 1952, for the A-0 programming language. The FORTRAN team led by John Backus at IBM is usually credited as having introduced the first complete compiler in 1957.
