#2Cool =)
But who says perl has "no support for Japanese"? Don't think that's true

#3The enhanced version is completely different from the regular version. Not only are the reasons different, but a lot of the languages don't even inherit from the same sources (the regular version had javascript coming from java. wtf?). Just goes to show how arbitrary/silly it all is.
Still pretty awesome. Why did haskell come about? "Lazy evaluation is cool, yo."

Very likely Perl didn't have integrated support for Japanese when this was generated. I'm not an expert, and this version was semi-crowd-sourced, so no doubt it's full of inaccuracies.
And it's just for fun.

#5Bullshit. Not to mean or anything. But bullshit. Most of the arrows are labelled with the author's post-hac, childish generalizations of language differences. JavaScript came from Java because of the scary syntax? No, it came from Scheme because of the scary syntax, Java's syntax was considered particularly comforting. There's no relation between Lisp and MacLisp. Lisp came from "Turing Machines"? Ruby came from Perl and Lisp (but not Scheme) and not from Smalltalk? In fact, seems like Smalltalk had no influence at all. It's a cool idea, but it forces one to trivialize language differences to a scary extent.

#6Where do people think "D" should be put? What arrows with what labels?

So, do the words "just for fun" not actually mean anything to you?
Just curious - you seem really angry about this.

It's pretty clearly not meant to be historical at all. That said, it's pretty questionable that it's much accurate at is trying to do either...

#9Python is "notenough OO" and leads to Ruby?
I smell a troll under the bridge.

#10Python is "notenough OO" and leads to Ruby? I smell a troll under the bridge.
Around 1995, when Ruby was created, Python was "notenough OO".
