Which language are your using nowadays?

I am using C, C# and Java.

If you define it as a usable programming language, it's quite obviously the machine language of the first computer. How one defines 'first computer' varies. One option is the ENIAC machine language.

If machine code and assembly doesn't count then you have Plankalkül and if you need a compiler then here... If you want a commercial compiler though then it's FORTRAN.

If theoretical languages count, then you have the idea of Turing machines but moreso you can simply describe algorithms in your native language.

thank you for the exciting links.
