The hardware instruction set for a computer does not get a name. It is generally referred to as the machine language, machine interface, machine command set, or simply the instruction set for the machine. To make things more comfortable, instructions were assigned names and mnemonic symbols for the effects of executing an instruction. Some examples were ADD, SUB, JMP, CLR. When combined with memory address locations or names, register designations, and assembled with other such symbolic instructions, they became an assembly of instructions and it was called a symbolic assembly language, or just assembly language.

Among the first assembly languages was SAP (Symbolic Assembly Program or Share Assembly Language) for the IBM 704 computer.

The first attempt for a higher level language for programming was Univac Short Code and was used on the Univac I computer

According to me what I think is you can copy this below given Link in Address bar to know more about ENIAC (world's first computer with a Video Clipping)AnswerThe first ELECTRONIC computer (ENIAC) consisted of several rooms full of racks filled with vacuum tubes, wiring, and relays. You could walk down aisles "through" the computer which seems a strange concept given today's technology! It used a tremendous amount of electricity, generated a tremendous amount of heat, and had frequent failures. It is possible to argue that Charles Babbage's Difference Engine was perhaps the first computer (though it was mechanical not electronic, see: difference-enginePossibly the first successful programmable (by wiring), electronic, computer was the Colossus Computer built in Bletchley Parkcolossus-computerRoughly like the photo above of the recreation of the Atanasoff Berry Computer, the first electronic digital computer (it was not programmable). The first programmable electronic digital computers were significantly bigger.
