I would like a lot more if it just let me confine my code in braces like any sane language. White space should not be functional!

@LouisIngenthron I find that I indent my #C/C++code just for readability anyway!

Follow

@ilneill Me too, of course. But that's the point. White space should be for humans, not compilers!

@LouisIngenthron But a language that forces you to make code readable... Do you not see that as a benefit - I do.

@ilneill I don't need a compiler for that; I have an IDE. I can right click, select "format" and all of it is nice and pretty and readable.

@LouisIngenthron Hmm, I can understand that. However, if you are working on someone else's code on a system with just a basic text editor, you might appreciate some readability from the start. 😁
