The first COBOL compiler was available 2 years later in 1960. Algol 58 wasn't available until 1960 either.

The first compiler for PL/1 was delivered much later, in 1966.
You could have suggested LISP 1.0 but that appeared in 1960 too (as an interpreter, the first compiler was written in 1962).
LISP, COBOL, ALGOL: 1960 was a remarkable year in the history of programming languages.
