Shouldn't clojure be at the very top there, on the left above lisp? ;)

Smalltalk is conspicuously absent.

Smalltalk is probably absent because they're happy and productive and don't care about other languages. I have to say my Smalltalk years were full of more,"Look what I made!" vs. "Look what I got the computer to do!"

An alternative explanation is that there are no longer any Smalltalk programmers who don't also belong to one of the other groups. :(

Shouldn't Verilog/VHDL be on top? :)

Hehe, good point. How about the soldering iron then? Or the wire-wrap gun?
