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.
Nearly my entire company's infrastructure is written in Python and Go so I take offense (even if I would prefer to write anything else other than Python, mostly because I like proper typing )

Math types are missing.

Are those programming languages?
Just imagine any of these programming languages with keywords in Latin. One morning you're debugging a double ended queue and the next thing you know, a bit flip is being caused by a 300 year old spirit.

If everything written in those "obsolete" languages suddenly disappeared, the whole world would go dark.
That doesn't stop them from being obsolete, it just means that people who have the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality can get fucked.

I'm not sure "computer" was even a profession back at that time.
The Cult of Pythagoras would like to have a word with you.

The Greeks were very into geometry, a purely calculated algebraic proof didn't count for them.

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?
Also Python as a toy lang and somehow more "nu" than Java despite Java being younger?

...and C++ being obsolete is the second funniest.
It is clearly surpassed by C though this chart seems to have missed that fact.

You say "wildly wrong", they say "incentivizing engagement".

System vs Toy?

So rage bait?
Precisely. Getting people upset is the foremost technique to farm engagement on social media. Sites such as Facebook even deliberately altered their algorithms to show content that will anger readers because it works so well to keep them invested.
Engagement bait is omnipresent and really obvious once you learn to spot it - even something as innocuous as one or two "accidental" typos in a meme to get people into the comments section.
