I think "the first language to" is the operative bit.
Yes, the mathematics predates it, but in context I think "only appeared" clearly means "only appeared in a programming context".
(I guess whether you accept this depends on how you're rank ordering different types of pedantry, and exercise I am happy to leave to the discretion of the reader)
