I roughly based the nu-obsolete scale on language features not age (or use), TypeScript is just ECMAScript with an optional type safety feature.
That's... not the whole story. TypeScript is very powerful without users noticing. The most widely used feature is probably implicit
thisbinding in fat arrow functions, but also targeted compilation to lower ES standards. It's not just type annotations à la Python. -
I don’t get what toy lang means?
For playing with, rather than 'serious' projects

SQL? Toy?

C is more obsolete than Rust. Coding directly in assembly is rare. Beyond that it's more subjective.
Coding directly in assembly is rare.
I used to think that, but when you're dealing with a lot of low-level stuff you'll eventually realize that Compilers are pretty bad at generating fast and reliable Assembly where it's needed. Also, some Architectures have specific machine instructions that Compilers just don't take advantage of, no matter what flags you enable.

Interesting. Do you have some examples?
Writing those frequently-called leaf functions in assembly has certainly far outlived it's use in other places. But, the word on the street, or I guess the conventional wisdom, is that compilers have gradually caught up even there.

This is a very bad chart:
- I don't understand what Toy Lang, Nu Lang or even System Lang mean
- How are C and Assembly obsolete?
- How is C++ more obsolete than D or Go?
- PHP still powers a large portion of the internet, certainly not a "Toy Lang"
- Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?
Downvoting.
This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:
- Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
- System Lang --> low level language
- Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
- Nu Lang --> newer programming language
After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

Among other things, "JavaScript" is a trademark of Oracle.

I think the humour are the labels (Toy, System, Nu, Obsolete), which are however incorrect and misleading.Among other things, "JavaScript" is a trademark of Oracle.
Does this prevent it from being used in memes?

Fortran is obsolete? I just constrained myself about to write something about your mum
