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?

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.
