mustang there are many such languages which have been developed till date..oldest one is really unknown as its not sure it was HTML only as per the claims of some web developers..others are like Ada95,AppleScript,BEF(PASCAL like),CCI (Common Client Interface),C, C++, Objective-C, Pascal, COBOL, FORTRAN,JAVA,JAVASCRIPT and almost 100 others so i can not name them all as i am still a newbie into programming...i find "java" the best due to its flexibility in its use and outcome
