I think we should politicize code. It seems so unfettered by politics so far while so many other things are nicely split amongst party lines. Seems like maybe the Republicans should embrace C and the democrats can have python or something.

Republicans get C, Java, Lua, and C++; Democrats get Ada, Rust, C#, and Python; Libertarians get Zig, TCL, Julia, and Ocaml for some reason.

I thought this is a tech space, but you've just made a lot of people Republicans.

One would also expect Ada to be Republican.

And can libertarians please have Common Lisp?

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Ada could never be republican, on the basis that it's named after a british woman scientist. I don't think she's on record as a feminist, but that's about the only thing that would make her "worse" in their eyes

Also why do the democrats only get languages for people who don't care about performances ? /s ^(it's just a prank bro)
