An interactive research project maps relationships among programming languages, people, projects, and ideas, with sources attached to each claim.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-09 issue.
For
Readers tracing the history of programming languages
Worth noticing
The demo labels five nodes and five edges, and distinguishes a language foundation from a design influence.

Field notes

The demonstration names its nodes and edges, then lets readers open an individual relationship to inspect its wording and source. One example marks Simula 67’s influence on C++ as a design influence and points to the designer’s account; the method note distinguishes influence from source-code descent. The page also links provenance standards and a JSON dataset, while calling the graph illustrative rather than comprehensive.
