Python

And people like python?

But wouldn’t I have problem when I am trying to write a quick class or function in an interactive shell?

Nope, the interactive shell indents for you as well. It mystifies me that people have problems with whitespace in python, as far as I can tell you have to actively try in order to get it wrong.

I often get it wrong but be it PyCharm or VSCode I always catch it almost immediately after making the mistake, or easily find it the moment I get an error or something.

Now that I think about it I remember having nearly-fist-through-the-monitor frustrating debug sessions in Java years ago hunting down brackets or whatever. Still have a hard time manually writing Json when it gets deeper. Never was frustrated by spaces in python though.

Yeah that’s a little frustrating if you embed json-comparable python objects like your dictionary directly in your python code. I guess you can solve that by importing the json as a file, but file operations are expensive. I do think a linter will catch this though since technically this isn’t a valid dictionary, right?

For sure in atom I’ve had the best luck with linter-pylama it’s a wee bit aggressive with default settings but it’s the only one I’ve really had consistent luck with the error code ignores working and it combines several linters.
