If the solution for a feature intended to save time and reduce hassle ends up being "write and maintain your own compiler extension" it's a bad feature. Period.

I'm not a fan of whitespace delimiting or type inferencing because while they seems like they save you time and effort, I've found that in the long run you end up spending more time debugging your indentations here or type declarations there than you would have spent just explicitly declaring them in the first place.

- andybak 12y agoI'm not sure how much Python you've written but I personally have never had to debug problems with whitespace. (I'm had to debug plenty of problems in other languages where the whitespace implied one thing but the curly braces said another).
