   I’m not seeing Forth, although it is listed as a major language by Wikipedia. Of course, sometimes I don’t see things that are there.

   From my perspective Java was heavily influenced by Smalltalk, but your diagram does not make that evident.

   I used the data from Wikipedia. If there was no mention in the article, the line was not drawn. Otherwise I could have agonised over it for months (and wouldn’t have even heard of some of these).

   So if you don’t like the conclusions you /could/ edit Wikipedia! Don’t forget your citations though!

   Smalltalk was also influence by Lisp.

   Ok, it’s a line diagram, but still…

   Javascript inherits heavily from Perl, including its use of regexp, list, and object literals and short-circuit logical operators.

   Between BASIC and “Visual Basic” either Quick Basic or PDS should be in there, and FreeBASIC also inherits from Quick Basic.

   Java was actually inflenced by Objective-C
9. Thomas David Baker 2006.10.22

   Yes, as this post makes abundantly clear: http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/seanl/stuff/java-objc.html

   So Wikipedia is now somewhat more accurate than it was in March. I shan’t claim all the credit
