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

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"?

AKA: How to annoy a bunch of computer nerds very quickly....

Make one for Linux distros next!!!

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?

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

It wouldn’t be a good compass if nobody had strong issues with it:

1. System vs Toy is not opposed to each other. Should have been system vs abstract or useful vs toy or whatever
2. Where LISP? Best language missing makes graph bad

Edit: before people tell me there’s already ‘obsolete’ on the graph, no, there’s loads of obsolete languages that are still useful, and many more new languages that are either built for fun or not used for sad or good reasons.

Edit2: I’m also halfway sure that brainfuck is older than rust (but don’t wanna look it up). But if that’s true your axis mean several things at once anyway and you should feel bad (not really though).

SQL isn't a toy language, it's a domain specific language.

Curious how you decided what goes where, I'd hardly consider SQL a "Toy Lang" as opposed to a "System Lang"

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

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

Did you just note Typescript, a superset of JavaScript that needs to be compiled into it, as closer to the system?

Also does it technically constitute a language? That feels like a stretch too.

How is cobol toy wasn't it made for military?

The only way Assembly will be obsolete is if there were no new chips processor models being created.

Every time a new architecture or a new instruction group is announced, it has to be bootstrapped into the C compiler.

Where's Latin and Summerian? 🤔

ngl I'm pretty mad right now

Where Perl?

Why is it missing Haskell?

SQL? Toy?

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

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.

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

I don’t get what toy lang means?

a lot of suspicuously missing lisps

Was it a deliberate choice to leave JavaScript off entirely?

Fortran is NOT obsolete you take that shit back

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.
