I just purchased my 1040 ST , oh, about a year ago, and I can affirm
that it only came with Atari BASIC.  Now, I hesitate to call Atari
basic an actual language, but I suppose you can technically call it
that.  As for paying for such a thing...Ick!  Anyone who wants to
program on their computer is bound to go and purchase a programming
language of their own, so when you get right down to it, it isn't
necessary to include a programming language with the computer.  I
would have liked to have received a little bit more documentation on
the machine then I got, though.  That little tan booklet they give you
covers the basics rather lightly, it would be nice to know more about
the machine without having to buy a book somewhere else.
