I think I'm now a tabs person, it's the only character where the width can be easily adjusted for different devs without changing the underlying file's data

Welcome to the club!

I don’t give a shit because I use whatever the IDE has as default.

Space people are weird.

Good choice.

transcend the tabs and space peoples.

Have an company spec it formats to in pipelines.

Have your own stuff locally as an dev, be it tabs or spaces. We are programmers, so let's focus on the logic instead of styling semantics which get yeeted by compilers anyhow, mkaay.

Personally I only use four-per-em space U+2005 for indentation

I insert spaces with tab. Because I'm evil.

Seriously though, I agree with your argument. I'm only pissed that if I use tabs instead, I'll have to configure how many spaces a tab is worth every bucking where, and I'm lazy. So I'd rather the indentation look the same no matter what.

Very good. I don't know how the fuck spaces replaced the literal specific task it was invented for indentation. For pretty alignment it's stuff sure. Spaces are great. For levels of indentation tabs vastly superior. Always have been.

@rootshell that is horrible. I've find using the language defacto standard is the best way to have the least issues by far.

Even though I think it's stupid to indent with spaces. It's even sillier to fight the thing that everyone expects. It's horrible to have the framework and your style clash or anyone new having to go WTF.

@Liebranca that's the key feature that makes it work for me.
Don't you have the same issue now with setting how many actual spaces get inserted when hitting the tab?

@hjk101 Aye, it's the same in that department. Only real difference is I don't have to configure anything when if I'm solely reading my code.

@Liebranca have you ever seen someone who hits space four times every time they need need to indent?

@kiki 1 space indentation is all you need.

@antigermanist use an IDE like a real dev, then you can press tab and it will insert however many spaces that you want for you.

If I'd be using MS Notepad for programming, I'd be pissed at spaces, too.

@Lensflare I use punchcards

@antigermanist if you use lisp, sure

@kiki lisp is more like a religion isn't it?

Holy parenthesis, right up there,

Let us express the ultimate truth

With your super simple synthax

@antigermanist brainfuck has even simpler syntax

@Lensflare literally, yes. Functionally, not having name at all makes it more complex to use.

@kiki Aye, I have heard legends that such creatures of the night exist, roaming through the underbrush in the ever-twilight of the Andrarian Darklands.

@antigermanist not sure if complex is the right word here… maybe hard or demanding.
But basically I agree.

@Lensflare look at us being best friend now.

Would you be my child godfather?

@antigermanist We aren’t best friends, I‘m just trying to be nice.

I don’t want to be the godfather of anyone’s child.
