Python is great for web applications as well when you pair it with PyPy and  
Falcon framework.

COBOL is a old one:

if you want to program for the gameboy
see these resources:

http://gameboy.mongenel.com/asmschool.html

a gameboy assembler:

a post explaining how to compile c code using sdcc for the gameboy:
http://sourceforge.net/p/sdcc/discussion/1864/thread/e04ebcc5/
please note that you will need to write a standern libary
as the only one i found dosent look like it has a license (correct me if i am  
wrong) and so is non-free

i email the creator about the licenses and they haven’t got back to me

just be sure to avoid the non-free stuff

also heres a libre gameboy program in asm you can learn from:

i use c for most things as because it lets you do just about everything
and theres loads of documentation and libs for it
sometimes i mix FORTRAN with c if i think there’s something that could be  
done easier in FORTRAN


i know a bit of assembler enough to make a x86 bootloader
and i am currently learning gbz80 asm
so i can make gameboy applications using assembler

Python is easily my favorite language. I do just about everything in Python.  
I've even done things I could do in bash in Python (like iterating over  
dozens of files and renaming them a certain way), though that's largely  
because I haven't bothered to learn much of bash.


Out of C and C++, I'm personally more fond of C, though I understand I'm in a  
minority. I think there are too many ways to do a lot of things in C++,  
mostly as a result of inheriting stuff from C while also inventing totally  
new methods to do stuff (e.g. malloc/free vs new/delete).

RMS's preferred language, lisp.
The most powerful programming language is Lisp. If you don't know Lisp (or  
its variant, Scheme), you don't know what it means for a programming language  
to be powerful and elegant. Once you learn Lisp, you will understand what is  
lacking in most other languages.

if you like old languages FORTRAN is a good one
its from the 1950's and the code is fairly easy to read and its similar to  
BASIC


heres some resources:
to install a fortran compiler use
sudo apt-get install gfortran

and to use the compiler

gfortran program.f08


also some tutoirals

Any particular reason you want the language to be old? There's nothing wrong  
with using an old language (as long as there's a libre compiler or  
interpreter available for you to use), but I'm curious as to why.
