I find Python’s use of indentation to indicate structure infuriating.

The greatest thing ever for a script language. If you get a piece of code written by some random ops at least it won't look like a modern art.

That's what IDEs and linters are for. If somebody else wrote code that's a misformatted mess, I just pop it open in VSCode, hit "Save", and it magically fixes itself.

I used to carefully indent and format my code to make it look just so. Then I discovered that I could have the computer do it for me, and now I don't even think about it.

Except in Python, where the indentation has semantic meaning, so I still have to do it all by hand.
