I disagree. When you want to move a block of code around, it makes it too easy to make mistakes. Or if you want to add e.g. a div around a bunch of other elements, you need to be very careful with the indentation.
I've worked with both: s-expression based syntax and whitespace-sensitive syntax. I'll take s-expression based syntax any time. Have you used both?
- TylerE 10y agoYes, extensively. In any half-way modern editor indentation-aware copy and paste/block indent/dedent is super easy.
- pg314 10y ago> In any half-way modern editor indentation-aware copy and paste/block indent/dedent is super easy. Sure. But I've made mistakes in Python because I didn't select e.g. the last line of a region. If you've used both extensively and prefer whitespace to sexps, that's totally valid. De gustibus non est disputandum.
