Had to share this incredible chart from Jean E Semmat’s paper “Programming Languages: History and Future” (Not sure if breaking the rules/norms by sharing an image. But look at it!) https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.86.6078&rep=rep1&type=pdf

Image posts are great. We don't even have concrete definitions for "programming" (I say photoshop counts) or "computer" — so "link" is whatever you want it to be.

Definitely feels worth updating this format for c. 2020. I think I'd do the categories differently. For example, does Lisp really belong with the other languages in its category? Pretty much every HLL these days supports array/list/map literals. I think Lisp isn't really about "list handling". With 50 more years of context I think cons cells and s-expressions are best seen as a notation for trees rather than lists, thanks to their most common application -- for syntax trees.

I'd be very interested in such a thing updated until today. I tried to create something related using wikidata.

There's been a few like this. What sets OP apart is the concision and information density..

It needs to be a computational thing 😄 lets build it 😄

A collaborative wiki that permits controlling both content and visual structure.

I would almost suggest a git repository which uses a webpage renderer like gitlab pages?

I think it'd be nice to have unit tests for this 😄

So should we use typescript then?

Whoever puts up the first rev chooses! 🙂 This includes your gitlab pages option, btw.
