An iceberg chart ranks programming languages and compiler-related identities by how obscure or deep they are. The visible surface contains familiar languages, while increasingly niche languages appear underwater, alongside humorous labels describing different programmer archetypes. It is shared as a reaction by programmers to joke about obscure language communities, compiler errors, and extreme technical preferences.
