There was recently some post about a map of mathematics, and I remember seeing one for map of physics or map of computer science.<p>Is there such a thing for software?<p>How would it be structured?
> How would it be structured?<p>However you like. The purpose of the software - e.g. communication, business, system control etc - seems more essential than the language or the programming paradigm. Although languages are themselves one software purpose.<p>It could be like a tree growing upwards, with more and more areas/branches appearing, and in each, early prototypes and later mainstream giants. Some are popular only for a few years, others for decades..
