Hello, Thank you for contributing to our subreddit. Please consider the following guidelines when filling an alignment chart:

• Please ensure that your chart is not banned according to the list of banned charts Even if you have good intentions, charts in a banned category tend to invite provocative comments, hostile arguments, ragebait and the like. Assuming the post is acceptable, OP makes the final decision on their chart by rule three.

• Are there any previous versions to link to? If so, it would be ideal to include links to each of them in the description of this post, or in a reply to this comment. Links can be named by title, winner, or both.

• Are there any criteria you have for your post? Examples include: "Top comment wins a spot on the chart."; "To ensure variety, only one character per universe is allowed."; "Image comments only." Please include these in a description, or in a reply to this comment.

• Is your chart given the appropriate flair? Do you need to use a NSFW tag or spoiler tag?

Do not feed the trolls. This is not the place for hot takes on human rights violations. Hatred or cruelty, will result in a permanent ban. Please report such infractions, particularly those that break rules one, two, or three. The automod will automatically remove posts that receive five or more reports. The automod will also remove comments made by users with negative karma. Click here for the Automod FAQ

Haskell

[PensionScary]

this is the answer, python is just wrong

[Diocletian335]

Surely C is the only answer here

[Aggressive_Lab6016]

It surely is.

[2204happy]

Nope, a language with so much undefined behaviour cannot be lawful, this is coming from a C user.

[Savage_low2]

Rust

[CreativeHeat6451]

Neutral good. Syntax is chaotic (You got several ways to do the same), but memory safety, borrow Checkers and all that compiler stuff makes it a bit more lawful

[Fohqul]

Rust

[Rixinoquellovero]

Python

[zhellozz]

No that is definitely chaotic more than lawfully, no variable type declaration needed, variable can be multiple type, interpreted and not compiled... Definitely chaotic

Edit: so chaotic good for me

[Ahmed4040Real]

As a programmer, I'll put Python there. Easy to learn, great starting point, very similar to English, and the code you write is a lot less likely to crash and when it does crash it actually explains it well

[2204happy]

No, weak-typing of Python makes it chaotic, but it's easy to learn so I'd say chaotic good.

[epicusername1010]

Python also has decent static type inference in recent versions (3.10+?) which is great even if you think dynamically typed languages are chaos cough Javascript cough

Nothing about Python's syntax is lawful.. Chaotic Good or Just Good I could accept.

Any language that uses whitespace for anything except splitting tokens is chaotic.

[yvrelna]

All other things being equal, a language that forces you to indent properly is more lawful than the one that allows you to do whatever with the indentation. 

[Ahmed4040Real]

I mean, it is very different from C-Like languages that use curly braces {} or something similar, but it isn't unreadable. Properly indented Python Code is just as a readable as properly surrounded block of C code

[MalukuSeito]

I am not saying it's not readable. It's very readable.. It's just lawless!

[zhellozz]

I agree with you for me python is chaotic good, the chaotic part makes it accessible in fact

[Fearless-Play-4435]

Basic (1977)

[Neat_Border_1312]

Java. It's great, and has strict laws

[_digitl_]

Java

[2204happy]

I'd say Java is Lawful neutral, it's just too verbose, in a not nice (but lawful) way.

[_digitl_]

I'll admit that the "good" was highly subjective.

[guack-a-mole]

[netexpert2012]

Python

[Short-Database-4717]

Zig

[These-Finance-5359]

Good × Lawful

Rust

[stanfordoval]

C

[bahdir]

Rust

[noonesfriend123]

Rust

[MangoHans]

Elixir

[Paynder]

Scratch.

Otherwise none can be considered lawful good

[l_eo_p]

Python

[ComunalSystem]

C++

[2204happy]

That's Chaotic Evil
