Was it a deliberate choice to leave JavaScript off entirely?
ECMAScript is included, which is the official JavaScript standard

It's right above PHP.
Hahaha gottem XD

If everything written in those "obsolete" languages suddenly disappeared, the whole world would go dark.
The huge gap between "obsolete" versus "legacy"

How is Lua further down along the Nu Lang axis than Go, Rust and Nim?

I actually did miss that one. TIL.
Interesting that it's just as nu as TypeScript, despite TypeScript definitely coming after.

Also Python as a toy lang and somehow more "nu" than Java despite Java being younger?
wrote last edited by [email protected]I think the order of Java and Python makes perfect sense. The OOP C++ -> Java pipeline was massive in the early 2000s when python wasn't really on the radar. The world has been slowly moving away from that, and Python is one of the most popular languages right now.

How is C or assembly obsolete when they are literally everywhere is beyond me

That's just Java
On the off chance that you don't already know, that's a totally different thing named after the same drink.
I'll pull out the emojis for this one.

C is more obsolete than Rust. Coding directly in assembly is rare. Beyond that it's more subjective.

wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, that one caught my eye too. Brainfuck is also pretty old IIRC, and it's hiding down there in the bottom right.

SQL isn't a toy language, it's a domain specific language.
wrote last edited by [email protected]Yeah, but 3D political compasses just don't have the same hold on people.

Also, what the hell is "nu" supposed to mean?
Where is Nu lang?

I won't have much to say about assembly since don't use it but far as I know low level parts of OS such as bootloader likely still uses assembly not to also mention embedded systems.
As long as both of these exist in embedded systems, it is just statistically weird to call it obsolete even in regards to other languages.
For instance data scientists majorly use python, but python critically depends on C and devices they use critically depend on C and assembly. Can you then really say what they do does not depend on C and assembly and python is more widely used?

I roughly based the nu-obsolete scale on language features not age (or use), TypeScript is just ECMAScript with an optional type safety feature.

So, the Linux kernel is already partially moved over to Rust. It's probably in the Python ecosystem too, although I can't actually say.
More obsolete was a deliberate word choice. Hell, even COBOL is still used.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I see! So you'd say type safety is system-type feature, then?

Compilers are pretty damn good at doing that by now.
I can believe there's some direct assembly usage down in the depths of Unity and Unreal engines, but the average game dev is probably not going to touch it.
