Love it, allows to explore the relations between language in a different way. I wonder why ECMAScript and JavaScript are different? Isn't it a different name for the same programming language?
Freebase lists JavaScript as a dialect of ECMAScript and draws no influence relation between the two, you can see the data for ECMAScript here http://www.freebase.com/m/019syg
I'm curious about the claim that Java influenced C, especially since Java is a much newer language.
Someone has deleted this relation today, see http://www.freebase.com/m/07sbkfb?links&lang=en&filter=%2Fco...
Maybe a response to this thread. Think it's time to update the graph in the near future.
how is CFML (ColdFusion) not linked to Java? CFML runs on top of the JVM.
You can view the CFML entry here: http://www.freebase.com/m/03tsq7 and see that the 'Influenced by' and 'Influenced' associations are empty.

Moreover, looking at the language itself, I don't see anything that reminds me of Java.
That CFML runs on the JVM doesn't imply that the Java language is an influence from a theoretical computer science point of view. CFML also runs on .NET and Google App Engine, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ColdFusion_Markup_Language

JavaScript is an implementation of the standardized ECMAScript language, so technically it is not the same. Freebase lists JavaScript as a dialect of ECMAScript and draws no influence relation between the two, you can see the data for ECMAScript here http://www.freebase.com/m/019syg
Never expected to see Dylan that big. Would be nice if this nifty language could get more attention. Has anybody here ever deployed something in Dylan?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Then why isn't JavaScript attributed under "Languages Influenced" for ECMAScript. Seems wrong to me. http://exploringdata.github.io/vis/programming-languages-inf...
