My very first programme was written in Cecil https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CESIL running over a teletype link via a (very slow) modem to an IBM 360 in Cambridge. Such joy when it worked!

I too first learned computing in CECIL, I was lucky to be selected to do 'computer programming' as a CSE at school, in 1978. The general consensus was 'why you doing that? you won't ever see a computer'!
