I absolutely cannot stand significant whitespace... it is a step back in almost every area of usability.

- throwaway7645 9y agoI love both Lisp & Python. I'm not sure about large projects, but to me, nothing is easier to read than Python and a lot of people agree. It is so strict and authoritarian that nearly everyone ends up writing similar code. Good for sharing scripts on my team. If I write Perl, only I can understand it...and even that is temporary lol (I joke, but you get the point).
- cutler 9y agoIf you love Lisp & Python try Hy (hylang.org).
- goatlover 9y agoIn your opinion. For you it's a step back. For some of us it's very easy to read and write.
- weaksauce 9y agoI don't really get this line of thought... are curly braces really that hard to read and get in the way of things to you?
- flavio81 9y agoWhy? I have done two major (commercial) software projects in Python, with a good amount of code, several months of work, and I've never had ANY kind of problem with the indentation/whitespace. Any Python IDE (like Pycharm) will easily highlight you where each section of code sits relative to the indentation level, so it's really pretty simple. Really, really simple.
