Your first complaint can be easily solved with a good text editor. I use sublime and it will handle whitespace differences when pasting. I haven't had any trouble pulling from webpages.
Secondly, it isn't any harder to indent after hitting return than to add a Bracket. Same number of keystrokes and again, a decent editor can fix this problem too.
Lastly, this is just a personal preference. Clojure code also drifts right, but its just a matter of training your brain to interpret it.
- jameshart 12y agoHow can it handle whitespace differences when pasting correctly? I have a conditional block. I want to paste some code at the end of it. Do I want to paste it inside the condition, so indented the same as the preceding line - or outside the condition,so indented one level less than the preceding line? With a brace delimited language, if I put the cursor inside or outside the brace and paste, an editor has enough information to correctly indent it. With whitespace delimiting, the editor doesn't have enough information.
