I wonder where BASIC would fit into this chart? Anyone care to enlighten an old basic programmer? It was my first language maybe 30+ years ago when I was a kid...

Assembly was cool back in the day Z80, 68000... then C, but I felt too stupid to learn that stuff when I was a kid. Ugh. ;-)

It would be heavily influenced by Fortran, but I don't think it heavily influenced anything else.
