It's the YAML/JSON debate - would you rather have ugly curly brackets or annoyingly-precise whitespace? Personally, I choose ugly brackets, but I know many prefer the annoying whitespace.
- aloisdg 9y agoOr Sass vs Scss. It is mostly a matter of taste.
- tonyarkles 9y agoI always find this funny, because I indent my C/JS/C#/Java/whatever-other-curly-brace code exactly the same way Python expects me to indent it, so it's never really been an issue. Every time someone complains about significant whitespace, my first reaction is "what indentation style are you using where that's an issue?!"
- weberc2 9y agoI'm the same way, but lacking curly braces hurts when you're reading long functions and trying to figure out what scope you're in. It also prevents multiline lambdas or that's the excuse anyway. I program in Python all day long and there are definitely times when delimiters are nice, but I think most people make too big a deal about it. I will also say that I still have a harder time reading a Haskell function call style than a C style.
- vorotato 9y agoYeah I frequently switch between F# and C# and I literally cannot tell a difference in effort. I assume the complaints are more out of familiarity than anything else. I have never had issues in either language.
