My biggest gripe is that human eyes cannot in fact see invisible coding characters such as tabs and spaces. I cannot abide by python for the same reason.

You can set those things to be visible in many editors. Its ugly tho

Until you're doing an online course in a simplistic web editor. Don't ask me how I know 🥲

How do you... Oh sorry

But yeah that sounds unpleasant

The language should just let me specify which character I want for that. I would use ">".

That'd be an editor thing rather than a language thing, I would have thought. It's probably configurable in some

It would be a compiler directive, I think. Or let me type "end if" and just disregard the coding indentation
