    i like how you've managed to include just a single non-procedural language, and it's the most interesting one by far, and you're calling it obsolete. says a lot.

      And I bet this is based in opinion and not any sort of scientific understanding because you put assembly as an obsolete language…

        "Obsolete Lang" is more of a looks category, and back then most programming languages were not much dissimilar from it. Basically Assembly had to stay unstructured due to how CPUs work, while the industry moved on.

          I read that as "directly, without a compiler", in which case it's close to fair, although I would have still put it ahead of COBOL because sometimes it's necessary.

                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.

                      If everything written in those "obsolete" languages suddenly disappeared, the whole world would go dark.

                        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?

                              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.

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

                                      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.
