    Better than counting curly braces.

        Me too, any day. I hate everything where indentation matters. Let me just throw my garbage there and YOU sort it out, you are the fucking computer, not me. You do the work.

        So fuck you, YAML! All my homies love JSON!

            My code also documents itself, of course.

            Yeah Yaml is nicer than json, but I’m not into the Python indenting at all.

            I’m here to spread the good word about JSONC. It is the way and everyone should adopt it in place of JSON wherever possible.

        Yup.

        Spaces? Tabs? Don’t care, works regardless.
        Copied some code from somewhere else? No problem, 9/10 times it just works. Bonus: a smart IDE will let you quick-format the entire code to whatever style you configured at the click of a button even if it was a complete mess to begin with, as long as all the curly braces are correct.

        Also, in any decent IDE you will very rarely need to actually count curly braces, it finds the pair for you, and even lets you easily navigate between them.

        The inconsistent way that whitespace is handled across applications makes interacting with code outside your own code files incredibly finicky when your language cares so much about the layout.

        There’s an argument to be made for the simplicity of python-style indentation and for its aesthetic merits, but IMO that’s outweighed by the practical inconvenience it brings.

        There’s a joke here about using echo "some python code" > main.py in here somewhere but I can’t find it. Imagine I did instead.

          Is mirco a little man sitting on your SSD flipping bits manually as you dictate him?

      if you have to count the curly braces I understand why you are a python developer

      You don’t usually count them. They just have to form a neat diagonal.

        Also, highlighted the way you expect when you click next to braces works too.

        Because Python uses indentation instead of curly brackets, which is why this meme exists. Also jetbrains ide s like pycharm and webstorm do all of this for you.

          Even the mosy basic text editors does indentation for you, not even an IDE needed

            Not as good as jetbrains does, it automatically does things like realign when you paste things and lots of little things that improve the coding experience by a lot.
