Hi all, I know here in the members forums, most people are familair with programming languages and possibly already know how one language relates to one another.

However, I'd like to know personal opinions on accuracies/inaccuracies on the image below, from your own point of view of course.

This isn't a structured discussion, this is intended to offer an opinion on languages in general and possibly paths you may prefer over others. :)

Didn't embed due to size.

On a side note, my academic advisor was the Canadian representative on the ISO committee for modula 2. He has some super interesting stories about it

Wow. That's one heck of a diagram. Also, does that mean your academic advisor had input on the language? @the image again, going to take me a while to understand all the correlations between all these unheard of languages :)

Yeah, the ISO (International Standards Organization) sits down and basically agrees on how the language will be structured and implemented and creates the standard.
