Lots of languages with whitespace significance have no ergonomic issues with functional style. Haskell and the ML family come to mind.

- kbenson 10y agoActually, looking at Haskell, the optional whitespace (either indentation or braces, newline or semicolon) looks like it solves that problem quite well. I don't have much experience with optional whitespace, so I can't comment on whether it neatly solves the problem, or creates additional problems in readability as close to or greater than the original problem. My gut feeling is still that it might be messy.
