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.
The huge gap between “obsolete” versus “legacy”
How is cobol toy wasn’t it made for military?
Odin mentioned!
Where’s Latin and Summerian? 🤔
Are those programming languages?
They could have been. 😌
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.
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.
Typescript, a language. Hah.
In what way is typescript not a language?
It’s JavaScript with sugar added.
So? That still makes it a language.
Your mother is a language.
The hardest hitting rage bait I’ve seen all year
Where Perl?
Outside the chart. Somewhere far above the image
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.
Prolog, right? I really love it
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.
Why is it missing Haskell?
And Perl
and Scala
And Lisp?
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?
Funny that nushell is not on here.
Maybe short for “Nouveau”.
The “ouvea” being removed:POP probably lived through the mid-1990s rise of “nu-metal” bands like Linkin Park
Nude 😳
@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.
Except for the thousands of lines of boilerplate 🤷♂️
What do you looking for in a programming language? Maybe I can suggest something better.
I’m sure everyone can suggest something better regardless of what they’re looking for in a programming language.
It wouldn’t be a good compass if nobody had strong issues with it:
- System vs Toy is not opposed to each other. Should have been system vs abstract or useful vs toy or whatever
- Where LISP? Best language missing makes graph bad
I literally opened it looking for Lisp and dismissed the whole thing when I realized its not there
Haskell’s also not there. I was ready to criticize any quadrant it was put in heh. But that’s probably most because the axes are kinda bad.
I don’t get what toy lang means?
The opposite of system language, especially as many scripting languages have “beginner” features, like a single number type instead of integers and floats, dynamic types.
I would call that a high level language. Like, the further you abstract from the hardware, the higher level the language.
Calling it a “toy” language implies that it isn’t useful. You have languages in there that are incredibly useful, like SQL, that basically run the entire internet.
For playing with, rather than ‘serious’ projects
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.
Did the same with D’s superset, betterC.
betterC is a subset… 🤦
