SNOBOL
APL
WatFor, WatFive
LISP
PL/1

I used ‘em all way back when there was the DP (what we used to call it back then: Data Processing) Cambrian Explosion of languages.

I am told that NASA is hiring FORTRAN programmers (now that Trump is giving them something to do other than Self Esteem for Muslims). A lot of the stuff they sent into space years ago runs it, and the old guys are all retiring. My aunt used to write FORTRAN for NASA.
