“Already”?

This is about a language abandoned 15 years ago!

It's buried in the article, but Lush is from 1987!

I love this diagram. Is there a tool that generates such things? Or is there a name for this style of diagram that I could search for?

My prime use would be generating diagrams of function call chains in large Python code bases.

How about pycallgraph that can be exported to Graphviz?

FWIW it is called evolutionary or lineage (or hierarchical lineage) diagram I believe.

i am also interested in this.

i found vijual[1] and mermaid-ascii[2] are good starting projects.
