I'd say your maximalist view is not maximal enough, by requiring tabs. Why not store code in the most minimal way possible (one-liner, no whitespace [assuming whitespace-insensitive languages]) and let viewers and editors wrap and indent it however they want.
That aside, I'd say the reason your vision is not achievable today is due to lack of great view/edit tools.
- rhn_mk1 5y agoFor a less-maximal outlook that is actually achievable with minimal editor support, check out elastic tabstops. https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/ https://nickgravgaard.com/elastic-tabstops/ I've found that the last reason I can justify spaces has to do with hanging indents which are not aligned on tab bounaries. Elastic tabstops handles those with - you guessed it - tabs.
- shrimpx 5y agoThanks for the pointer. Elastic tabstops is a cool idea.
