doesn't assembly language make it possible for higher level programming possible?

who said Perl? perl is way of being the first language.

suppose it depends what you choose to consider a language. machine language would probably be first, followed by assembly, then fortran... ect.

who the heck voted for perl?

Assembly is a low-level language, right?

assembly is pretty much THE low level language. it's right above the 1's and 0's.

I only program with zeros. It's WAY cheaper.

I hated assembly, i still hate assembly, and i will hate assembly and i hate 1s, and i hate 0s i prefer $100s

Yeah, it seems like most people know what they're doing when they talk about programming languages. The first high level language:

FORTRAN

or the FORmula TRANslator

Most of you knew that though.
