That would be great, but significant whitespace doesn't seem to stop all the Python users out there.

- m463 7y agoI will say I like how python uses whitespace syntactically. The whitespace is consistent, makes programs readable and much more compact. make seems to be less consistent. I think it distinguishes between a space and a tab, which isn't clear without editor help.
- a3n 7y agoYeah, I wasn't specific here. Tabs and spaces in Make are different specific things. I also like Python's significant whitespace. It's easy to mess up whitespace in Make and it might not complain about it. Mixed whitespace in Python will either work without problem, or it will tell you when it doesn't. Make's whitespace is unnecessarily clever.
