    The compiler.

    Because one would have to start at machine-code to create something to turn stuff into machine-code - ie. a compiler.

    Well ...

    The programmer comes first. Pay me a decent salary, and only then I shall work on the program or the compiler.

    You probably know the answer, but the first languages (including Basic) were interpreted, so languages came first.

    Not bad Martin

    Lisp language was used. Lisp was usually hand coded into assembly or interpreted... Someone then decided to make a C compiler out of it, and the first language was born.

    And Bill did not create God. He simply created a deal by which he and the angels would create a user interface by which all people would have access to the heavens. due to a licensing disagreement, Bill left the project and created his own version. After which he simply subclassed the God object and redefined it in his own image.
