    This chart is easier to understand if you make the following substitutions:

    • Toy Lang --> high level language (except brainfuck really is a low level toy language)
    • System Lang --> low level language
    • Obsolete Lang --> old programming language, regardless of obsolescence status
    • Nu Lang --> newer programming language

    After understanding this construction, I fail to find any humor in this.

    Why is ECMAScript here and not JavaScript?

    Among other things, “JavaScript” is a trademark of Oracle.

      I fail to find any humour in this. I think the humour are the labels (Toy, System, Nu, Obsolete), which are however incorrect and misleading.

      Among other things, “JavaScript” is a trademark of Oracle.

      Does this prevent it from being used in memes?
