Libertarianism is orthogonal to left-right split.

It seems the left-leaning flavor is rarely seen in online commentary or among the tech moguls who openly embrace libertarianism.
libertarianism is whatever it needs to be to win the argument at hand.

it means about as much as "scripting language" or "strongly typed"

... did you just call libertarians weakly typed??

Also, now I want to write a framework called "libtarianism" that includes a pseudo rand generator.

True, but a lot of people do not see it that way. (although that's partly due to prominent Republicans hitching a ride on the Libertarian wagon when it's convenient)
