I created the weirdest political compass
-
That it's an interpreted language rather than a compiled one. Bytecode and interpreted langs get the Toy Lang treatment. At least SQL has floating points.
So, it's an almost useless dimension with misleading names? Yeah, it's a good "political compass".

@ZILtoid1991 well, according to this, I'll learn Go.
I started using Go a few months ago, I'm loving it so far. Simple, gets the job done, stays out of your way.

Yeah, the axes on this are weird, why would the opposite of a systems language be a toy language? And why is Lua, a very popular and commonly used language in tons of stuff, a "toy"? And Lua is a nu Lang? It's older than Java, maybe it just feels newer because each release isn't necessarily backwards compatible?

How are you defining "Obsolete" vs "Nu"?
e.g. Brainfuck from 1993 is all the way to Nu, while D (2001) and Rust (2012) are less "Nu"?
Also, what the hell is "nu" supposed to mean?

COBOL is about as far from a "toy" as I can imagine. Almost everything corpo runs on it at some level.

Is Java more obsolete than c#?

OP probably lived through the mid-1990s rise of “nu-metal” bands like Linkin Park

Assembly being obsolete has to be the funniest joke in here. It fundamentally never will be even if its use is niche

Javascript is compiled, just in time.

Among this chart's many other issues raised elsewhere, Ada is in totally the wrong place. Probably more system than Rust right now, and definitely not obsolete.

As a Ruby fan I’m just happy to be included for a change

wrote last edited by [email protected]A systems language, one of the oldest but still in use and modeled after, used to build expensive research toys, which compiles itself via its interpreter…. is in some 4d space this plane doesn't slice through.
FORTH also out in space somewhere

OP is a “C guy”
