Sorry to say it but what a mess.
Programming Language Network: A Graph of Programming Languages

#12A filter for those who are only interested in one aspect of the graph (i.e. language influence) would be very nice. With the current balancing, Haskell is closer to Java than to ML.
Re: Programming Language Network: A Graph of Programming Languages
#13A search function would be killer.
My thoughts exactly. Center the term if found and highlight it would do the trick already.
There also needs to be better filtering of the raw data ("many others" near Python is kind of a head scratcher for example).
Filters for "just languages" or language + path length of X etc. might be cool as well.
A simple NON_AUTHORS = ["others", "et al."] etc. and using that in normalize_data would be a good start imo.
Edit: Plankalkül also has encoding issues :)

#14This sort of visualization while really really cool (and kudos to the developers) is also really hard to navigate. I can't easily find any of the languages I'm looking for without a lot of visual scanning and zooming in-and-out.
You can center the view on any language by adding "#language:" to the URL. For example: https://fatiherikli.github.io/programming-language-network/#...

Or just -f Languagename.

Yes, but then good luck with finding C, J, K, B or similar :) BTW, I'm not sure, but I think all the single letter language names are taken already?

#17This doesn't look too nice graphically. Influenced by -lines are grey on grey which is almost invisible. Also, it doesn't make much sense either. C# is placed close to Smalltalk, far away from C and C++, not to mention Java.

#18This is a more useful visualisation of programming languages:

Re: Programming Language Network: A Graph of Programming Languages
#19It's interesting that the distinction between functional languages and imperative languages is not at all clear in the graph. This could be caused by the fact that the visualization technique used is not capable of showing this, or that there are simply too many types of edges (or because each type of edge is getting the same "importance" in the graph drawing algorithm).

Still some single letter programming language name left according to this blog post: http://iron9light.wordpress.com/2009/12/16/single-letter-pro... . However the post is a little old, so it may have changed.
