Didn't know about that one.
Multics was primarily in PL/1.
Nor this one.
IIRC there was something earlier written in BCPL.

descendants, [...]
Didn't know about this one either, mostly because I blissfully remain
ignorant of IBM equipment :-)
Depending on your definitions, things like the

might
be counted.
I did mention FORTH.
