Whitespace isn’t semantically important. Ticket closed.
That would be a very satisfying ticket closure
Last day at the company, pushed over 5,000 commits. Just style changes, still passes all the checks.
This would never pass PR review.
Jokes on you, we don’t have PR review.
Dear god
He can’t hear you all the way down here.
This is fine.
Don’t threaten me with a good time.
Python Black for Java. Just a thought…
Actually that seems great?
How happy I am with prettier. This is just a thing in an ancient past for me now.
Literally me every time I want to program something slightly complex in Python.
I’d love to see your .editorconfig.

What’s that in your project root? …pom.xml? Misread that at first as porn.xml.
I’m not the OG on this, just an old reddit post I remembered
https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/9fhvyl/writing_yaml/
It’s just YAML…
YAML makes you appreciate Python’s 4 spaces indentation.
4 spaces? Hard core Python programmers must have a callus on their thumbs.
Just assign tab to 4 spaces.
I thought python allowed whatever indentation you wanted as long as it’s consistent?
It does, but most style guides and autoformatters will use 4
Python is one of the few languages with an official style guide, I think that guide says 4 spaces.
Tabs!
4 tabs is a bit overboard, don’t you think?
I’ve set tabs to four spaces in vim because who the fuck defaults tab to eight spaces. That shit looks alien and pushes text off the screen fast.
pep8 calls for 4 space but it is a guidance not a rule.
Google internal style guide recommend(ed?) 2 spaces to accomodate the line length limit.
Mmmm, perfectly level.
I forgot Moses was in Tron
I kinda like it, easy to see unbalanced braces
I kinda like it…
Might check out the Haskell layout rules.
Basically, when you leave out the ‘{’ then Haskell uses your intendation to insert ‘;}’ on later lines between the leading whitespace and the first token.
There some really old Haskell code out there that lines up the ‘{;}’ characters on the left under block-introduction keywords.
It’s not just old Haskell code that’s how you write Haskell if you want explicit braces. Well, mostly generate, but it’s still the idiomatic formatting (and when you generate you always generate braces because it’s easy to get layout subtly wrong when generating).
Haskell also does the whole
data Foo = Bar | Baz | Quux foo = [ Bar , Baz , Quux ]thing, makes sense to apply it to braces especially as they’re seen only very rarely. Single-line, yes, but not multi-line.
Who’s going to write the extension so that they are all hidden and automatically inserted?
I think you’ll like Ruby. It has mostly done away with braces and code blocks end with
end, e.g.def create unless admin redirect_to new_session_path and return @product = Product.new product_params if @product.save flash[:success] = "New product has been created!" redirect_to edit_product_path(@product) and return else flash[:error] = "Something went wrong! render :new end endThis is working code that I simplified a bit from an old project of mine.
That’s just Algol instead of B. Most languages use the one or the other, then there’s sexpr-based languages (lisp, scheme), lua (technically Algol but not needing semicolons while also not needing newlines so it’s definitely special), and layout syntax (Haskell, or, if you want a bad implementation, python).
Ruby syntax is nice although I prefer python way of enforcing indentation instead of adding "end"s. Personally I just want a statically typed language with enforced indent as syntax.
Funny, the forced indentation is what I hate about Python. If you think a missing semicolon can be hard to catch, don’t ever think about a missing whitespace :p
The
endkeyword really isn’t a big deal for me. I find it to be a good way to easily spot the end of a method. But if you wouldn’t like it I’d still find it a good compromise to avoid syntax issues due to whitespace.i can count on one hand how many times ive had white space issues in 15 years of using python. its just not an issue
Same and agreed, especially if you keep your functions small and focused as you should. 3-5 indents is nbd to keep track of, and if you need more than that… No you don’t, refactor.
I’ve had way more hangups with brackets then indentation, personally, not that either is a super frequent issue, but I’m indenting anyway, so brackets are redundant and just another thing I have to keep track of
}helps me easily spot the end of stuff.endjust blends into the statements.
weird cousin of lisp
That would be very cool to have in a code autoformatter
WE CAN DO THAT!?!??
… whitespace is whitespace.
Pseudo-python
What if I prefer this?

Asylum? We have the electric chair for this.
Yeah, now I see why you want him dead. He used mov after lea
Thanks. I hate it.
Can this be done with emoji?

You win a free trip to the Hague
They don’t even deserve the trial. Straight to gulag.
Still need at least troyka to send to gulag. Or regular court outside of stalinism.
The taxi chauffeur can be judge and do it on the way to the gulag.
Obviously the sentence is predetermined.
Acceptable, just FYI I added a pre-commit git hook, please rebase your changes.
