Ok, now ... where does TempleOS and HolyC belong on this chart?

    Maximum freedom, and somehow joining the maximum points on the tradition and disruption axes, forcefully bending the chart into some sort of cylinder

    Eh, I wouldn't say TempleOS is disruptive. It was literally started off as a modern-day C64 successor. So, tradition all the way.

    Pasting objects into text files is pretty disruptive. The only other coding editor I know that can do that is DrRacket with images. I mean the guy invented an entire OS, C variant, several programs... all incompatible with traditional ones, simply because of his unique personal beliefs.

    It's still text with some formatting underneath, though, just like HTML. Actually, in HTML we already have it in form of contenteditable attribute. You can straight up paste images and move other html elements into elements with it. I just checked, you can even do this with full on canvas elements and animated webgl views if you wanted to for some reason, though the code must be adjusted to account for it. I have yet to see it being useful and not a liability, though.

    It needs a Z axis for hobby vs enterprise.

    There we go, there, that actually makes sense to me, thank you!

    I want to know what a corpo hobbyist traditionalist language is though, lol.

    Like uh... I make vba / excel macros in my spare time for fun, lol?

    That's where retrocomputing comes into play I guess, Haha!

    Those people running Windows 2000 or XP on old computers or VMs and making old-school dotnet web forms apps for it.

    I can imagine myself doing this one day, just for nostalgia. 😄
