Ah, the Babbage computer, a marvel of its time! Charles Babbage designed the first mechanical computer in the 19th century, known as the Analytical Engine. It was capable of performing basic calculations and is considered a precursor to modern computers. Despite never being fully built during Babbage's lifetime, his work laid the foundation for future advancements in computing technology.
In 1837, Charles Babbage, a British professor of mathematics described his idea for the Analytical Engine, the first stored-program mechanical computer. The Analytical Engine was designed to be powered by a steam engine and was to use Punched Cards, which was used to program mechanical looms at the time.
Ada Lovelace was the illegitimate daughter of the poet Lord Byron. She married the Count of Lovelace, making her a "Lady" and the Countess of Lovelace. She became a mathematician and worked with Charles Babbage, the developer of the Analytic Engine (mechanical computer). She wrote a text on the development of instructions for the engine even though Babbage would not publish his ideas until years later. The Analytic Engine was never built until recently. She was therefore , in a way, the first computer programmer, inventor of the subroutine and a proponent of looping. Her role in the development of the Difference Engine is not clear. She is often credited with logic involved in its operation if not its construction. Evidence does support her suggestion for the transfer of the existing punch card system of the Jacquard loom as a method of entering data and controlling the devices operation if it were to be built.
The Countess Ada Augusta of Lovelace is usually credited with designing and writing the first computer program. However as the computer it was written for, Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine, was never built this program was largely an academic exercise.The first program for a computer that was actually built was designed in 1944 and ran on the British cryptanalytic computer Colossus. It is unknown who did the work as the entire project was classified and most of the records were destroyed after the war.The first program for a stored program computer (the type that modern computers are), consisting of 17 instructions, was written by Tom Kilburn, and first ran on June 21, 1948 on the Manchester Baby computer.

Ada Byron Lovelace was an English mathematician. She is most known for having created the first computer program that was used on Charles Babbage's, Analytic Engine.
He inventad an ANALYTIC ENGINE during 1830s
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.

You are probably referring to Ada Lovelace who wrote an algorithm for Charles Babbage's Analytical Engine. She is credited with being the first computer programmer. However, she did not write any programming language; the machine's language was an integral part of the machine's design.
between 1940 and 1945
Lady Augusta Ada Byron is thought to be the world's first computer programmer. She created an algorithm that was used in Charles Babbage's Analytic machine.
Wikipedia currently lists 710 computer languages.
The first recorded use of the word in the English language was in 1613 and referred to a person - someone who computed. The first recorded use of the word for an electrical item which did the computation for you was 1897. Although Charles Babbage had devised what was effectively a mechanical computer in 1837, the term, 'computer' was not used for it. He called it an 'Analytical Engine'.
