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”?
Fortran is obsolete? I just constrained myself about to write something about your mum
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
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).

And I bet this is based in opinion and not any sort of scientific understanding because you put assembly as an obsolete language…
I read that as “directly, without a compiler”, in which case it’s close to fair, although I would have still put it ahead of COBOL because sometimes it’s necessary.
Should it not say “machine code” then? It would still be bizarre to call it obsolete, given that it’s literally the foundation of all the other languages in the chart. It’s like saying letters are obsolete because we have words now.
Assembly being obsolete has to be the funniest joke in here. It fundamentally never will be even if its use is niche
…and C++ being obsolete is the second funniest.
