The main point in favor of syntactically significant whitespace is that it stops these loving arguments.

C'mon everyone knows how this plays out. Tabs are great, right? As long as you use tabs for indentation and spaces for alignment, then tabs merely represent indentation levels and everyone can set the tab stop in their editor to their preferred number of spaces-per-indent and everything just works great. Except, as soon as more than one person contributes to the project, someone will goof and end up mixing tabs and spaces for indentation, such that source files will only appear to have consistent indentation for one tab stop value (and you have to guess what that is). Worse, as soon as more than two people contribute to the project, you have people mixing tabs and spaces for indentation such that source files won't have consistent indentation under any one tab stop value. And it really is inevitable, given that "opportunistically convert runs of spaces to tabs" is a default-enabled option in some popular text editors. The only people who avoid this problem are those who have push hooks set on their repos to reject commits with mixed indentation. Or, (more likely) people who have never worked with 1-2+ others on a project. So the inevitable answer is N spaces, where N itself is determined through silly arguments and holy poo poo I don't care.

I don't see the problem, the semicolons make it super clear where statements end.

Spaces are real nice when you're in school and need code snippets in reports, since the verbatim environment in Latex recognises tabs as single spaces. That said, I don't care enough to use anything but the tab button when coding and if the IDE automatically puts in 4 spaces or whatever, that's a nice bonus if it's for school.

ExcessBLarg! posted:And it really is inevitable, given that "opportunistically convert runs of spaces to tabs" is a default-enabled option in some popular text editors. In my experience it's the opposite, where the default settings seem to more often be to use spaces instead of tabs (which is the worst possible thing anyone could do!). Of course it leads to people committing files with mixed tabs and spaces for indentation, because they can't be troubled to do it properly or at least make it consistently wrong.
