Now that you said it, I see them too. Could be because of the darker numbers stand out more.

Interesting, thanks!

Certainly inspired by it.

Yes, I noticed that too.

Thank you!

Digits are colored in shades of green based on their values with darker colors corresponding to higher values.

Did some more research. Rust actually has a page about its influences and what language feature came from those languages. They don't specifically mention C, but I guess in some way most languages that came after C are influenced by it.

See https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/influences.html

Agree, I should have included this info on the graphic. The colors are based on the Louvain method for community detection and the node size represents the number of influenced languages within this graph.

You're right Algol should be included.

The colors are based on the Louvain algorithm for community detection. It only takes properties of the graph itself into account. I wouldn't consider Processing and Java to be the same language, but some distinctions in the dataset are certainly debatable.

That's a very good observation, didn't even realize that myself until now.

Yes, you're right.

The colors are based on the Louvain method for community detection, the node size represents the number of influenced languages within this graph and the edges point from influencing to influenced languages. There are small arrow markers that show the direction, better visible when you zoom in on the graph on the graphic source page.

The data for this graph was retrieved in November 2022. Information on influence relations in Wikidata is not complete and may be inaccurate. If you find a mistake you can edit the corresponding item on wikidata.org.

For the most part it is based on Wikipedia.

At the moment Wikidata lists 4 languages influenced by Swift, see https://programminglanguages.info/language/swift/

It's a fairly new language, also data might be missing.

My brother and I typed the code for a game from a magazine when we were kids. We pretty much deleted it right after we could finally run it without syntax error, because it sucked. Hours and hours of work gone in a second. Nonetheless, we both ended up working as programmers later in life.

Yes, that makes sense.

I wouldn't say that's necessarily the case. For example: language X uses one feature of C. Language Y uses one feature of language X, but not the one that comes from C, so language Y would be influenced by X but not by C.

Thank you! According to Wikidata, R has only influenced Julia, see https://programminglanguages.info/language/r/

As stated in the graphic, the data is not complete. If you know about other influenced languages you can add them on Wikidata https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q206904

There's also a language called Semicolon...

Good point! That that level of detail requires a lot of research I guess.
