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

Ah, template code.
Template-C++ is not C++ after all /s
Someday the concepts will come and fix all of this. It has been foretold.

Some of those color choices were chaotic evil too
i didnt make the template
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.
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.

Most overrated language imho.
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.
I'm tempted to say it's not even a single language because of all the frameworks and non-standard libraries.
Or you know, you could be tempted to say it has multiple frameworks you can choose from.
One is more accurate than the other, but if languages are only allowed to have a single framework in your mind, then do you.
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.

C++ good? Shiggity diggity
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.

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

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.

Where is lisp?
Whats DIS?
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.

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

Replace maybe C++ with Haskell.
Or Rust
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.
The lack of braces in python code makes it quite difficult to read for someone who’s used to languages that use braces.
I agree, I was very careful to say tries to ಠᴗಠ
Vb.net us fun. It's like c# but with alternate words.
i still hate both and all of .net framework yeah, even vscode
VSCode was literally the IDE Microsoft created for working on everything but .NET framework, and it is built on Electron, it has nothing to do with .NET.

Guess I'm lawful neutral.
