I'm not really sure how Python's enforced indentation has anything to do with this. Java does not enforce an indentation style at compile time, but has a very well-established set of coding guidelines originally laid out by Sun that most coders follow. More importantly, Google has extensive coding guidelines for all the programming languages they use- their code will look consistent no matter what language they're working with.
- samratjp 16y agoI was just pointing out to the parent comment that it's not just the indentation but also the fact that a lot of things in python, there's one great way to do this is highly prevalent (and rewarded). This allows for easier readability in most cases. As about the indentation, the inherent nature of mandatory indentation significantly improves code reading quality which will allow someone new coming in to work with "100,000 to 1 million" lines of code an easier time blending in.
