Please tell me, what was the first language on computer?

[Alexandoy]

From what I know, we call that machine language - codes of o and 1 which later was converted into the hexadecimal coding for easier understanding. We used to debug (analyze and locate the error) assembler programs in machine language so I was quite well versed with hexadecimal.

As we can hear that the first language on the compute is the 0 and 1 language which is called the machine language

The answer is Binary Code.

In the beginning, Charles Babbage’s difference engine could only be made to execute tasks by changing the gears which executed the calculations. Thus, the earliest form of a computer language was physical motion. Eventually, physical motion was replaced by electrical signals when the US Government built the ENIAC in 1942.

In 1949 the language Short Code appeared. It was the first computer language for electronic devices and it required the programmer to change its statements into 0’s and 1’s by hand (Binary Code). Still, it was the first step towards the complex languages of today.

Later they invented FORTAN, Cobol, Pascal, Basic, Virtual Basic, etc.
