If we think all languages are like a family

I could draft them like this (Python base)
C is Python's Mom
C++ : Dad
Not that much C++ in Python, IMHO. If that's for the OO part, then the
closer to Python's object model I can think of is javascript.
Historically, Python comes from ABC, which itself comes from SETL.
Pascal/Assembly : Grandparents
Assembly ? What about binary machine code then ?-)
C# : Uncle
Java : Ant
Interesting typo here !-)
Hmmm... Python predates both C# and Java. Ok, technically speaking
nothing prevents an uncle or aunt from being younger than their nephews,
and I even saw the case a couple time - but that's far from being the
common case.
Ruby: Cousin
Perl : Girlfriend
Then it's kind of a very passionate love-hate relationship - bordering
on pathological FWIW !-)
Now you forgot the whole Lisp / ML heritage - most FP stuff -, and of
course Simula and Smalltalk.
