The alignment of the language and the alignment of the coder must be similar on at least one metric, or the coder suffers a penalty to develop for each degree of difference from the language's alignment. This is penalty stacks for each phase of the project.

So, let's say that the developer is a lawful good Rust ~~zealot~~ Paladin, but she's developing in Python, a language she's moderately familiar with. Since Python is neutral/good, she suffers a -1 penalty for the first phase, -2 for the second, -3 for the third, etc. This is because Rust (the Paladin's native language) is lawful, and Python is neutral (one degree of difference from lawful), so she operates at a slight disadvantage. However, they are both "good", so there's no further penalty.

The same penalty would occur if using C, which is lawful neutral - but the axis of order and chaos matches, and there is one degree of difference on the axis of good and evil.

However, if that same developer were to code in Javascript (chaotic neutral), it would be at a -3 (-6, -9...) disadvantage, due to 2 and 1 degree of difference in alignment, respectively.

Malbolge (chaotic evil), however, would be a -4 (-8, -12) plus an inherent -2 for poor toolchain availability.

..hope this helps. have fun out there!

I read and agree with the other comment here, but it's mainly a kind of nonverbal communication. I linked our computers and gave my gf the ability to change my background whenever she wanted, wherever she was, and vice versa. it's just a way of being close and all up in each other's business when we can't get all up in each other's business.

Sure. Illegalization of marijuana was a racially charged issue, and the Chinese exclusion act.. ..well, is pretty obvious.

are you just nit picking now, or..?

this is a pretty typical actual centrist tendency. Most of the centrists I know have been voting blue (and loathing it). A decent number have, though, given up on that in favor of shtf.

The problem has been "vote mostly blue and hope they don't alienate anyone too badly, because the right will take advantage of the alienated... oh, shit, they did it again."
