I always think of this when I edit python and my code is indented wrong... not a fan by structuring by indentation, but it doesn't seem to be a problem for most

I just don't think it is a holy grail endpoint of program editing. Oddly, I do think there is something to making sure all of your data has a literal representation in the code, if you can. Such that I do think being able to directly interact with data is huge. I also love when you can symbolically work with programs. But, yeah, the overwhelming evidence is that this just isn't necessary for things. Both in communication, and in program specification.
