Re: "White space"

I love whitespace! If the OP is trying to argue against it, he's in for a surprise if he ever gets a programming job. Even if you can read non-whitespaced code, nobody else can.

Some kids I've mentored in the past didn't use tabs at all, and it was painful to look at. It was impossible to tell, at a glance, when functions started, the scope of loops, etc. It was all either memorization or bracket-counting.
