Wikipedia Programming Language Influence Scrapper

This is just an exercise for fun. Someone has probably already done it... Results: Alt text

Key:

  • An arrow from one language to another means that that the former language influenced the latter language.
  • The size of the node is linearly related to the number of languages that a language influenced.

Color key:

  • Languages made before 1960 are colored violet.
  • Languages made between 1960 and 1970 are blue.
  • Languages made between 1970 and 1980 are green.
  • Languages made between 1980 and 1990 are yellow.
  • Languages made between 1990 and 2000 are dark orange.
  • Languages made between 2000 and 2005 are pinkish.
  • Languages made between 2005 and 2010 are light pink.
  • Languages made between 2010 and 2015 are red.
  • Languages where there was an error determining the release date are colored white.

Plans:

  1. Deal with duplicates and non-programming language influences.
  2. Make the color code clearer.
  3. Deal with a mydriad of bugs relating to keyerrors.
  4. Make node size in accordance with the area rule.
