Ok ... not quire correct, but:
the first ASSEMBLER languages go back to the years 1947 to 1951, if my
sources are right;
there was some sort of ASSEMBLER for the 701 (which was available in
1953, IIRC).
The first HLL was Fortran, IMO, which should be 1956 ca.
So there are some years in the 1950 time frame, where ASSEMBLER was the
only choice;
that's what I am talking about.
IIRC, in the first years of HLLs, there were some debates that HLLs are
not usable because of
the poor code the compilers generated at that time. This was true even
in the 1960s for the
first versions of PL/1.
Kind regards
