Very interesting!
I kind of like the fact some concepts have become mainstream after a decade or more of their invention, like OOP has been implemented in Smalltalk, but gained attention and became mainstream only 20 year later with Java.
Quick note: Smalltalk is wrong, first appearance is dated 1972 (after 3 years of development), not 1980. :)
4chan is a copy site off the site that non-Japanese call 2chan. The real name of 2chan is Futaba Channel. It has nothing to do with the programming language though it does sound very similar.

Wait, does 4chan get it's name from Fotran?
I feel like asking this could either make me look like a total idiot or total genius.

It's okay to ask.

Everything is going well until after the 2000's and then all I see are smiling piles of poo. :(

Nice timeline. It was created with TimelineJS, a github project.
