Yeah, that's a good point the whitespace thing would be very frustrating. I guess Ruby could definitely be written in an easy to understand way as long as it's kept to a strict definition of what should/shouldn't be used.
- eru 16y agoWhy should the whitespace be frustrating? It was never an issue for me, or anyone I know who gave it a try. The IDE that comes with Python (IDLE) is good enough to help you with the whitespace. And even in MS Notepad it should be fine. Closing parens without editor support is much more frustrating.
- dagw 16y agoThe only real time whitespace can get frustrating is if you happen to mix tabs and spaces in the same file. Unfortunately this is quite an easy mistake to make (depending on how your editor is set up) if you're new to programming and don't yet understand the difference between a bunch of whitespace character and a single tab character.
