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.
It's like having a PHP webserver inside a class
Or have variables inside a loop hoisted up in the function. Fun when you capture them with lambdas.
C++ good? Shiggity diggity
C++ is chaotic goodl, C is lawful good in my opinion
C++, lawful good
Someday the concepts will come and fix all of this. It has been foretold.
Concepts are already here - (as of now) they fix a subset of this, and errors messages can still be extremely long.
They're less like "here's every single template parameter of the involved types" and more like "this template thingy has many specializations with different constraints, here's a list of all of them and why none of them are satisfied with your parameters"
Ah, template code.
Template-C++ is not C++ after all /s

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.

At no point should C++ be considered "lawful" or "good". Haskell would be the best.

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.
For what I remember, it was just a normal interpreted language but you had to put "$" everywhere.
🤑
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.
Pythons chaotic evil
I'd put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.
Hard for me to categorize any loosely typed language as lawful personally. You are right though, semantic whitespace is definitely more lawful (and imo definitely fucking evil)
No, true neutral
Loosely typed with semantic whitespace definitely falls under evil in my book
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.
i needed to switch devices to get this joke, and man, shut up haha
Ba-dum-ts!
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

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
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.
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.

JS isn't even on here though. and whoever made this meme knew enough to include two Esolangs (though I'm insulted they included nary a single 'funge.)
It's in the title
I would have put assembly as true neutral
