No plankalkül? No ISWIM connecting LISP to ML? Bah, I say! The chart is prejudiced against the unimplemented.
Seem to be more a history of their books. Where the arrows stop doesn't seem to reflect anything but the latest O'Reilly book on the language. C++ didn't fade away sometime after 2001....Nor did javascript / ECMAscript. Isn't Actionscript an implementation of ECMAscript for Macromedia products? How does it rate an arrow of its own?I know they are in the business of selling books, but this is a little too flawed to be treated as more than a [weak] conference freebie.
There's also an unexplained arrow leading from Haskell to CLOS, unless someone cares to enlighten me?
