- Jtsummers 1mo ago> why are people reusing it? Python has remained in the top 5 (often near or at the top) most used programming languages for years. Meaningful whitespace is not stopping people from using it in enough numbers to make it clear that it's a detriment as a language feature.
- tiagod 1mo agoBecause whether you like it is not really of any importance to most people.
- soegaard 1mo agoAs most other things - you get used to it. But it's important to note, at you need editor support for rendindenting blocks easily and correctly.
- rtpg 1mo agoI love it. I'm gonna indent anyways for clarity! I'm... not a super fan of rhombus' emphasis on metaprogramming beyond supporting the language itself though.
