#23This is a cool visualization, but the data it is working from is pretty poor. A lot of the "influenced"s and "influenced by"s are pretty sketchy, and some are just plain nonsense. Also categorizing the languages is pretty iffy. I can't imagine any possible definition of "functional programming language" that includes lua, python and ruby, but does not include perl.

You're right the data set contains some questionable relations. Looks like DBpedia would have been a better and more reliable data source than Freebase.

C# is a small node. it influenced java a lot.
