It seems to me all the resistance from people who don't like Python's meaningful indentation is from people who haven't coded in Python. It seemed weird to me at first, too, but really, it takes about an hour of actually using code to think, "Hey, this just lets me get rid of all the ugly brackets, and you don't lose anything by having to write it this way!" I don't even think you have to love Python as a whole to get the fact that this part of it is simple and elegant.
- njharman 15y agoI can attest to this being one of the people who resisted until I actually used the language. Now I absolutely can't stand languages without significant indentation. "why is this retarded language forcing me to manually end blocks when it's bloody obvious from indentation!!!"
