also there's a reason we don't do poo poo like
code:
if (foo) { //code
           //here
           }

one of the reasons I like doing this is to segregate "real logic blocks" from "here's a list of things, arguments whatever".

or something like that, in the end it's an arbitrary preference that makes code more readable to a lot of people. much like braces in K&R style being different for functions :shrug:

lol why do you even indent poo poo, if you need to move stuff around you'd need to reindent it anyway

never indent anything, it's more practical this way!!1

you should use four spaces for one indent level, then a tab, then a tab plus four spaces, et cetera

it does, but why would you use them

because if you add a new line your git diff will only show the new line, not command and the new line

this is completely legal in Python incidentally

Python code:

if True:
    print("this works") # four space indentation
    if True:
    	print("and so does this") # four spaces, then one tab
    	if True:
    	    print("and this too") # four spaces, then one tab, then four spaces

I seriously know of projects that use 8-char tab stops, 4-char indent, and collapse spaces to tabs

so level 1 is 4 spaces, level 2 is 1 tab, level 3 is 1 tab and 4 spaces, etc.

I call it "the worst of all worlds"

every compiler for every language should just enforce tabs or spaces and fail to compile if you do it wrong.

think about how much time was has been wasted since the 60's or w/e arguing about this poo poo.

tabs spaces whatever who gives a gently caress, just don't mix the two in the same fil/project goddamn

there is a shocking proportion of the population that uses the caps lock key as a shift key.
