  • I linked an article with commentary, yes. When I read the original comment myself I was very put off by the tone/apparent attitude toward the subject. I still think it was an innocuous change they could have merged – I would’ve. I think the author of Ladybird is probably not a misogynist, but to be so blunt and dismissive on that PR was a questionable look IMO.

    He’s probably a nice guy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Just curious, what about spaces made it hard? What language would have been easier? In curly brace languages, 99% of the time, a curly brace is followed by a line break and an indent. Python is similar except it’s typically a colon, line break, then indent.

    What I have learned is: If the code is indented too deeply, it’s a code problem, not the language.

    “… if you need more than 3 levels of indentation, you’re screwed anyway, and should fix your program.”
