The History of Programming Languages [Infographic]
- pavpanchekha 15y agoSo, it's a history of Programming Languages, but it leaves out Smalltalk and Lisp? No Prolog, no ML? No Haskell, Erlang? No C#, forchristsakes? Ruby on Rails is now a "Language"? What next, jQuery, Django, and POSIX? Excuse the anguish, but it's rare to see a less informative infographic. Let alone the fact that it's not an inforgraphic, it's text content in an annoyingly non-text format.

For fun, I mapped some of these: http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/images/LanguageFix.png http://www.solipsys.co.uk/new/images/LanguageFix.png ADDED IN EDIT: I've now realised this was in response to a PG essay: http://www.paulgraham.com/fix.html http://www.paulgraham.com/fix.html FURTHER EDIT: Now a separate submission: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2816526 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2816526
