Stop comparing programming languages
Python is VERSATILE
JavaScript is POWERFUL
Ruby is ELEGANT
C is ESSENTIAL
C++
Java is ROBUST
Out of all the programming languages, C++ is definitely one of them.

Python should be one of the chaotics.
You can even dynamically create global variables in there.
Most overrated language imho.
Or stick a new variable onto the instance of a class 🤯
or return values for properties that don't exist, and only get created on access!
I love python.
It's like having a PHP webserver inside a class
Or have variables inside a loop hoisted up in the function. Fun when you capture them with lambdas.
C++ good? Shiggity diggity
Tell me op never did c++ without telling me op never did c++
C++ is the wizard, the nitroglycerin glass vial type.
I haven't used PHP in a while (10+years) but I didn't think it was that frustrating as its reputation seems to imply today. I remember their docs all had examples and I found that pretty useful.
The literal entirety of Facebook / Instagram / Whatsapp's backend is built on PHP.
I'm not saying that was a good choice, but it does guarantee a lot of resources flowing to it's development.
It can be pretty frustrating when dealing with old code bases. However its introducing a lot of really great features, so if you've got the time to either start a new project or rewrite with the more modern features you'll be fine.
For what I remember, it was just a normal interpreted language but you had to put "$" everywhere.

PHP has weird decisions but in the end it's a good back end
I think the front and back end of PHP are pretty similar. They are both the same letter P after all.
i needed to switch devices to get this joke, and man, shut up haha
Ba-dum-ts!

Pythons chaotic evil
I'd put it in the lawful category. 4 space indentation and other strict formatting requirements chaffs me to no end, just like a hard-ass teacher requiring name and student number in some specific and strict format at the top of a page.
Hard for me to categorize any loosely typed language as lawful personally. You are right though, semantic whitespace is definitely more lawful (and imo definitely fucking evil)
No, true neutral
Loosely typed with semantic whitespace definitely falls under evil in my book
