What programming language did she use?
Predominantly in assembly language. There is a GiHub repository of part of the code here
AGC was the name, it's assembly. So just a step up above bare machine code, and specific to the Apollo Guidance Computer.
The code is on GitHub. The launch program is named BURN_BABY_BURN--MASTER_IGNITION_ROUTINE.agc
