I've had some Issues with KornShell. I wrote a quick unit Counting script, kind of a Dirty hack to try it out. "Let's Get This Party Started," I thought as I hit enter on my keyboard, eager to see the units print on my screen. But it couldn't even count to "4 U". Instead, it printed "./count.sh[3]: syntax error: `(' unexpected" and just stopped Dead. I tried again, thinking It's Gonna Go Away. Nope, No Way. Am I Going Crazy? Somebody Somewhere has to know what's going wrong. Before long, I realized I had to Wake Up and face the truth that KornShell is very particular about whitespace. Those of you who only write in modern languages and environments, I Wish You Could Be Me for just a moment to realize how nice you have it today and how you don't have to put up with Trash that can't parse without whitespace.
- naiv 5y agoWow. This is so creative :) I counted 11 KoRn songs in there. (If counted correctly)
- pedrogpimenta 5y agoI count 13! Edit: Issues, Counting, Dirty, Let's Get This Party Started, 4 U, Dead, It's Gonna Go Away, No Way, Am I Going Crazy?, Somebody Somewhere, Wake Up, I Wish You Could Be Me, Trash

- jsiaajdsdaa 5y agoWhen I write code with whitespace enforced, I feel my brain slowly falling away from me. But with Python being so popular, I wonder if people look at me like I'm a freak on a leash.
- gabrielsroka 5y agoI feel like that sometimes.
- gleenn 5y agoComing from writing a lot of lisp, all day I dream about s-expressions
- michaelsbradley 5y agoAs a fan of Lisp/Scheme, I find it's a bit like parens: if one's editor mostly takes care of it (auto de/indenting) then it's not that bad, otherwise it can get annoying quickly. The teams/projects I've been part of the last couple of years make heavy use of Nim, which is whitespace delimited. My editor is Emacs and lsp-mode + nimlsp (latter is the LSP server; lsp-mode also leverages nim-mode) do an okay-ish job, but not a great one to be honest. Some days I really wish for curly braces.
- jsiaajdsdaa 5y agoAny time that is not spent thinking about how to model data and behavior in your domain is a genuine waste ;)
- gigaflop 5y agoDid you check to see if one of your transistors was twisted? You'd have to be blind to miss something like that.
- delgaudm 5y agoWicked.
- kstrauser 5y agoI'm glad someone's Got The Life style that lets them try these experiments.
