Post funny things about programming here! (Or just rant about your favourite programming language.)
Create a language where tabs are used for indentation while comments are formed by one space character at the beginning of a line, followed by a tab. Exactly eight spaces at the beginning of a line means that line is continuation of the previous one.
Maybe I'll start an Anarchy Programming sublemmy.
I think you put those images the wrong way around, pal 😠
I agree, the others are wrong.
The only solution is to use a curly brace language and write everything on one line.
The real question is spaces around curly braces or not?
Have spaces around curly braces modify the behaviour. That way, you can incorporated both.
That's why you get the best of both worlds, and combine them to use tabspaces. Everyone will hate you equally, achieving true equality in the proecss.
Tab characters are space efficient and configurable for each person in their editor. Space characters are consistent between developers.
Solution: each tabspace indent is a random width, making it both inconsistent and non-configurable. Also, each character is the size of at least four regular characters, so it’s not even space efficient
Honestly the best solution is tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment.
I prefer to use three alt+255
A bit useless if there's no character in front of the lead
I've always found it weird people call it white spacing when most coders use night mode on their ide, shouldn't it be black space?
😂😂😂
Just set your tab width to 1. No more argument now.
3 spaces!
Fight me!
I like it, at least it's a prime number!
Finally someone that speaks the hard truth that we need to hear
Hard to imagine how anyone could be so wrong :P
I have no problem with either. But I do have a problem with people who use the space bar instead of the tab key.
As a JS developer, I prefer to use semicolons for indentation.
My indentation is secretly the actual program written in the whitespace programming language.
