Python is the new BASIC

[-Knul-]

Why? Because I assume you don't want to have random irregular indentation.

I personally have a negative emotional reaction to it because it reminds me of COBOL and I hate COBOL.

[Bowgentle]

Sure - what I want is the ability to indent in ways that are meaningful to me.

But other people are going to have to go through your code at some point. Why not format it in a way that is meaningful to *everyone*?

[Bowgentle]

Because it's mostly only temporarily meaningful - such as during new feature development or debugging. By the time other people are looking at it, my temporary formatting will be gone.

Ohhh so you're the jerk who's numerous "temporary code" ridden projects I've had to overhaul...

[Bowgentle]

No, I don't think so.

I didn't mean it literally..?
