How about PL/I (P-L-One)? I have worked with this one (in addition to Basic, COBOL, Fortran 77) on legacy platforms. In 80's and 90's (pre- Linux era) I have worked with COBOL on various platforms - Prime / PRIMOS, DEC VAX/VMS, Novell LAN, MS DOS, DG AOS/VS, IBM AS 400/OS 400, IBM mainframes, and various flavors of UNIX.
[EDIT ADD]:
I have also studied Pascal, C, Python, Haskell, Golang, Java and JavaScript. Some of these I had used (and use) at work.

oh man you are crazy)
my University program was crazy.
each semester at least 10 programming languages.
Fortunately, I'm self-taught and I chose Python and JavaScript. And that's enough for me😆
Pascal brings me lovely memories of the different lab practices I coded in the university 😍
yeaaaah. the sorting algo was my first serious task in programming 20 years ago

Really fun read!

The takeaway is not a winner but a decision framework. Match language constraints to domain, ecosystem, and maintenance horizon.
