also I just realized that Brazil did NOT make a programming language entirely in Spanish and call it “Si” and that my professor was making a joke about C… god damn it
this post is probably too nieche but I feel like Lemmy is nerdy enough that enough people will get it lol
I genuinely do not understand the problem with white spaces that people seem to have. Literally any well formatted code will use whitespace for indentation.
I imagine that if python syntax was the norm and then a C-style syntax language appeared, the same group of people would be complaining “curly brackets? Who thought that was a good idea?”
“Hold my beer” shouted the Tcl interpreter
Its a lot easier to find a misplaced semicolon than a double space that should have been single. With C i can make the code visually easier for me to read. I just gotta remember to end the line with ;
right? like if white space weren’t required, how would you format your code differently? arbitrary white space all over the place? no indentation? that is some spicy garbage code
