Option 3 means that the Javascript standards team dies either way, right? Number 3. No hesitation.

the c++ team is a sacrifice I'm willing to make. can we just shoot Brendan Eich in the head if he's not in there too?
Push him onto the pressure pad. Make it his fault.
I feel like all C++ does these days is badly and very slowly copy other languages. It wouldn't be a huge loss.

“You and your entire family” means “All life on Earth”.
That should make the decision somewhat easier.
By my definition, family is who you treat like family.
I try to treat everyone I meet like family
If you make it "all human live" it starts to look quite attractive again

there might be an argument that JavaScript kills more than a nuclear bomb
Ok so this one just isn't fair.
Two possibilities end up with me dead, two end up with millions dead, and one ends up with me being unemployed.
Sorry not sorry Team A and B, sacrifices must be made.

Which metropolitan area?
Assuming it is in the US, at 4.5 million it can only be San Francisco/Oakland/Berkeley.
would the bomb also kill javascript and C++ or would I have to keep throwing trolleys at it until I get both silicon valley and the JS/C++ devs?
At that distance it also kills you, so it sounds like a good deal. No regrets.
win win win

Well, you can take yourself out of the equation because you're not tied down and can just move after flipping the switch.
chooses bottom track
"C'mon...c'mon!"
trolley heads towards committe members
"Dammit!"
runs over and jumps on the nuclear bomb pressure pad
I've played enough X-COM to know that 50/50 is actually 100%, I just don't know which way. Better trigger it!!
30%? Let me deliver that shot with crit across the map to your teammate hunkered down behind full cover for you!
Joke's on you I hate myself and my family
Am I in the Metropolitan area?
You are on track A and the bomb is within sight. If you get the shit end of the 50/50, everyone in the diagram would be vaporized instantly
So you're saying there's a 100% chance the comitees get vaporized by choosing the bottom track.
Well, no.
In scenario A they are instantly vaporized. In scenario B they are brutally sliced into multiple pieces and crushed to death, rather painfully depending on the speed of the trolley.
You need to study up on your trolleys. That's clearly a Vaporizer Trolleynator 3000.

Are we in the blast zone of the nuke?
Maybe we could use Javascript to direct a simple robot to set the lever while we remain at a safe distance?
Maybe the real solution to this diagram is to nuke it from orbit.
But the robot has to run windows vista
And have a valid Apple developer account?
Middle track. Then I have plenty of time to hotwire the nuke with my handy dandy mallet
There is at least one user here in the superposition of being on two tracks at once.
