Norsk Data had at least two programming languages designed in-house: NPL and PLANC.
These had some fairly unusual features, reflecting the hardware.

As for "language to the machine" that's pretty much unheard of. While
there certainly are languages that only were seen on one or a few machines or
architectures -- SYMPL, CYBIL, BLISS, TUTOR -- it isn't because that was the intent of
those languages. I suppose you could pose ESPOL as an example of a language for a
machine, though I suspect it could have been generalized, as C was, if there had been a
desire to do so.
