That's the bad part of not having braces. If boundaries exist they need to be clear. One shouldn't have to count the tabs that make up the level of indentation

Its already a challenge reading code. Counting invisible tabs makes it even worse.
- lisper 9y agoWell, you don't have to literally count them, you use the spatial reasoning hardware built in to your retina and visual cortex to just see that this bit of code is further over to the right than that bit of code. But of course that only works for pieces of code that are small enough to fit in your field of view.
- dorgo 9y agoOn the other hand high counts of invisible tabs may be a hint that the code needs refactoring..
