    Actually I kinda get it. Functional is left wing, imperative is right wing. Strong typing is authoritarian and weak typing is libertarian. Rust ends up being the big exception to this rule, since it should be strictly auth left, but most of the others match.

    Now the OS chart is kinda weird. Is left wing microkernel and right wing monolithic kernel, while authoritarian and libertarian are some other categories about OS’s that I am too ignorant to tease out?

      rust should be auth left for sure. the security focus understands the true reality of the world - that we must practice siege programming

      idk how the hell it is libertarian, it has a KGB-operated compiler built in that will execute you for writing bad code

      Maybe it’s how mainstream a particular distro is? It explains why NetBSD is to the left of FreeBSD.

      while authoritarian and libertarian are some other categories about OS’s that I am too ignorant to tease out?

      Y-axis is either how much of a hassle it is to set up the distro or how many packages are installed by default. It explains why ArcoLinux is just above Arch Linux.
