You can name your symbols a_b_c, ABC, abc, or aBc - it's all the same! Tabs for whitespace though..? Don't be stupid

  Well there is a practical reason that in a whitespace significant language you do not want to mix indentation types. I personally prefer tabs for the user customization, but the actual reasoning that generally speaking it was(is?) hard to get tabs to render as you want in a multitude of environments whereas spaces always render as is. Quick someone reset the inane "Days since mentioning style insensitivity".

    Would it be silly to suggest that a joke about a counter for "Days since mentioning style insensitivity" might point to a legitimate gripe many folk have with the language?

      It's not a “legitimate gripe” if you can safely ignore it and it won't affect you (as long as you use a consistent naming style).

      My new hobby is replying on every Rust post pushing to replace :: with another symbol. Barely use Rust, don't plan to, but it sounds funny to annoy them on the smallest bikeshed I can find.
