I don't think assembly code is really counts as a programming language; it's just the core instructions that the chip runs on. COBOL is silly. I still know Z80 assembly code... Of course, if you're after a programming language which is really obscure, you should try Ook.

aahhh… the ease of python;

#!/usr/bin/env python
print “Hello World”

or if you want to get more technical;

#!/usr/bin/env python
print “Hello World”
base = 30
height = 17.62
area = base * height
print area
