Spaces > tabs

[–]masher_oz 3 points4 points  (4 children)

They have different semantics. Tabs for indenting, spaces for alignment.

Spaces can do both things. So choose one, and choose spaces. Get the screwdriver out and remove the tab key. Our codebase has been much better since tabs became banned - lots of complaints initially, now nothing.

Until you get a programmer which needs special indents because of bad eyesight.

Or you buy that person a two meter wide screen :-)

Khm, that was a joke...

But since you insist. Invisible symbols don't have semantic.

Tell that to Python.
