i didnt make the template
At no point should C++ be considered "lawful" or "good". Haskell would be the best.
Haskell is where hope and sanity go to die.
That's when you have to comply with decades of backwards compatibility.
Haskell would be the best.
lisp wants some words with you about that
I wouldn't call lisp "lawful".
C++, lawful good
tbh i didnt even make this meme, it was my dad, i just posted it here
That seems like a great dad

No way Bash is lawful, or Malbolge is chaotic... And no way C++ is lawful either.
Did you just throw the languages around at random? At least Perl fell on the right place...
ADA should be the lawful good.
Bash is chaotic neutral.
Java is lawful neutral.
Javascript fits ok as chaotic evil.
Move ASM to neutral evil.
And maybe f77 as lawful evil.
Right? I do like Shell but scripts over 200 loc get quickly confusing, no matter how well you organize them. Not to start with Batch, they get confusing at 10 loc.
C++ is chaotic goodl, C is lawful good in my opinion
Stop comparing programming languages
Python is VERSATILE
JavaScript is POWERFUL
Ruby is ELEGANT
C is ESSENTIAL
C++
Java is ROBUST
Out of all the programming languages, C++ is definitely one of them.
Python should be one of the chaotics.
You can even dynamically create global variables in there.
Most overrated language imho.
Or stick a new variable onto the instance of a class 🤯
or return values for properties that don't exist, and only get created on access!
I love python.

I would have put assembly as true neutral
F tier meme.
"Haha JavaScript sucks'" is the easiest way to spot someone who spends more time on programming subreddits then they do programming.
Well, JS does suck. It doesn't matter how much time I spend programming, this truth will stand
JS is just insane. Learning it took far more of my time than any other language, and honestly, I'm tempted to say it's not even a single language because of all the frameworks and non-standard libraries.

This but with PHP, kinda. It isn't my favorite language/really good, and at some point in time it deserved the hate, but it has come a long way.

PHP has weird decisions but in the end it's a good back end
I think the front and back end of PHP are pretty similar. They are both the same letter P after all.

PHP has got a lot of new features in the language that makes it a little bit like c# now, so it's not that bad anymore :P

I haven't used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn't think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.
The literal entirety of Facebook / Instagram / Whatsapp's backend is built on PHP.
I'm not saying that was a good choice, but it does guarantee a lot of resources flowing to it's development.
It can be pretty frustrating when dealing with old code bases. However its introducing a lot of really great features, so if you've got the time to either start a new project or rewrite with the more modern features you'll be fine.

C++ good? Shiggity diggity
Where is lisp?
I would have put Perl as lawful evil, Brainfuck as Chaotic Evil and maybe ASM should have been Neutral Evil
I feel like malbolge is a much better fit for chaotic evil than brain fuck is but I agree with the rest

Whats DIS?
esolangs.org/wiki/Dis
tldr: malbolge wimpmode
It appears to be Dis thing right here.
Apparently it's a nerfed variant of Malbolge. Malbolge is literally cryptographically difficult to program in, while Dis is merely migraine-inducing.
Given how python tries to be as readable as possible with its controversial stance on using indentation, is it really neutral?
Idk if moral alignment makes sense for languages, at least not as much as weapon metaphors.
