3The question is looking for the earliest, please only answer if you think it is the earliest else this isn't really an answer and more of a comment.TheLethalCarrot– TheLethalCarrot ♦2020-07-03 14:49:44 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 14:49

2Since OP didn't define how the "first fictional programming language" is meant. AFAIK it's the first one that is actually a working programming language with an interpreter that runs it, not just some garbage a Sci-Fi writer made up and looks like code.Nyos– Nyos2020-07-03 16:05:57 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 16:05

3Given Hex from the Discworld is given as an example in the question, I'm pretty sure that 'working in the real world' was not required.Michael– Michael2020-07-03 18:10:48 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 18:10

7Interestingly, by creating a complete programming language for their Sci-Fi stories, that could disqualify itself as fictional programming language.Ángel– Ángel2020-07-03 22:15:03 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 22:15

2Well, Elvish and Klingon were created for art. Are they fictional languages? Technically they exist, so they aren't. Also, by creating a language and naming it after the winner, you could disqualify any fictional programming language.Nyos– Nyos2020-07-03 22:57:26 +00:00Commented Jul 3, 2020 at 22:57

``` - put returns between paragraphs

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
