Let's see, I was living under the:
- Amiga E
- Assembler (on Amiga)
- perl
- tcl/tk
- javascript
- vbscript
- java
- vba
- c
- c++
- python
rock. Granted at some of those rocks, I just took a quick peek (more like a glance), but a rock with whitespaces being important was, at that moment, new to me!
- nottorp 2y agoOh cmon, I can still write some z80 assembly from memory and remember the zx spectrum memory layout somewhat, but I check new programming languages now and then :)
- SunlitCat 2y ago:) I just meant that for someone coming from a language(s) where different kinds of delimiters are used to denote function bodies, a language that puts such a huge emphasis on whitespace was kinda throwing me off to get an error message slapped at me even though I was replicating the example letter by letter (although, obviously, I missed the importance of whitespace).
- nottorp 2y agoIt's all fuzzy, but I'm sure I knew about the importance of whitespace in python long before I actually tried python. Even Raymond's article which was one of the first whined about it [1]. I definitely remember reading that one and thinking I have to check out that language later.
