The eigenvector of “Why we moved from language X to language Y”

I really appreciate his method of breaking it down per-niche.

When it comes down to it, all languages are DSLs. Even LISP/Scheme are DSLs for making DSLs (like Butterick's "Beautiful Racket" earlier today).

Presenting them as per-niche directed graphs is probably less likely to steer newbies (and sadly, not-so-newbies) into another round of "let's redo everything in X!"

Agreed. Nevertheless, everything will be redone in JavaScript, by the look of things.

I wonder whether that typo was intentional ;)

The whole thing is like a "Yo Dawg, I hear you like Javascript" meme, so probably so.
