Thanks for making this! I had to pull myself away after 10min of reading this because it's quite addicting. One thing though: the style makes it really hard for me to read the text, I ended up just changing the text color for myself in Chrome. Still, bookmarked and will return :)
Great! Did some additional fixes now as well (smaller space between each year, bigger font size, etc). You might need to bust the varnish cache (?12345) to see it straight away. I'm trying to find a better color scheme as well - but I'm a really bad designer :-P
I was trying to do that actually, but encountered the inherent issue of css not being able to only fix an element for only one axis. But i guess there is a solution for it, and i completely agree that it would be better :-)
- increasing contrast of text (vs background),
- making it horizontal (time is already there, no need to make the whole plot diagonal)
- making different author of language different color or font size than language (and perhaps, bottom to language name).
This is one of those sites I wouldn't mind the site hijacking my scroll.
It would also be nice if you could show many any languages were created for a year in the year bar above, maybe on hover or as a badge.

[ 0.15 ms ] story [ 57.7 ms ] threadGo, rust, closure, lua, node(js) and a few others have seen some massive interest the past two years, so it isn't that surprising.
Could you try:
- increasing contrast of text (vs background), - making it horizontal (time is already there, no need to make the whole plot diagonal) - making different author of language different color or font size than language (and perhaps, bottom to language name).
I believe it would add to readability.
