    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?

      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)

        I was thinking about the association of the Ada language with defense stuff, and also her being Byron’s daughter, which is more specific than being British, I’m not sure she’d complain about associations with Republicanism, but then this can also be interpreted in favor of libertarians.

        No, the question is valid about weird selection of languages for Democrats. I think what they meant is that separation of various issues between parties is orthogonal to any sane logic, so we should do this with programming languages too.

        Also I want to know who gets Erlang.
