Fewer than a quorum not voting against. Failed 1-4 by Kevan.

add the following rule named “languages”:
When a user writes code for this dynasty, they may borrow other official computer programming languages recognized by Wikipedia, including but not limited to C++, Java, Python, to name a few examples. This code must compile and run under the language’s standards. If a single command has multiple interpretations, then the user must specify what language it is for, otherwise, the command is invalid. A code may also determine the winner of this dynasty, but it must pass quorum votes first.
HTML and CSS feels a little bit limited. I hope that other languages with the more powerful if statements, C++‘s pointers, Swift’s Guard, etc., can help provide more interesting methods and functions to boost this dynasty forward.
because the only method of running code is in the MCP which only supports JavaScript and therefore this doesn’t make sense in the context of the current ruleset.
Brendan: he/him
The ruleset as written so far doesn’t make use of HTML or CSS, only Javascript, which is exactly as capable of achieving the result we want—“take some text and output other text”—as any other language. The JSFiddle interface allows for markup and styling, but they’re not actually in use.
I think you want the paragraph at the bottom of this proposal to be in the “commentary or flavour text” box, as well. Otherwise you’re proposing that we vote on what seems to be an opinion.
