Me, learning Python: "oh god, important whitespace? why would you design a language like this"Me, having learned Python: "why doesn't every language use whitespace like this"Me, learning Go: "oh god, important capital letters? why would you design a language like this"

@noelle it's really funny reading Chinese Go code because all the types are just T[name] because ofc you can't do capital letters in Chinese

@noelle I kind of like how Python forces you to have nicely formatted code by using important white space, but at the same time I dislike how it doesn't fit the way *I* like to format my code <.<

@noelle I believe it's likely that the reason Perl gets shit about syntax is sheer chance, every language has different conventions, just a lot of C programmers found it confusing at a time when tons of programming was done in Cbut people adapt to whatever, there's someone out there writing fucking Malbolge for the love of all that is circuitry

@noelle To be honest, i still hate python for that :)I never did python full time, but i had to fix and modify a script. And after 4 hours of frustration i found a "misplaced" whitespace.
