    I’m an embedded systems C programmer with passing familiarity with Python. To me it seems ridiculous that a language relies on whitespace for blocking. Is that true?

      Yes, unfortunately. There is a lot of tooling around it but it still feels bizarre after years of using it.

        I’m anal about curly braces in C. I never code without them because I don’t like being ambiguous.

        I never do

        if(i=0) return 0;

        or worse

        if(i=0) return 0;

        I do

        if(i=0) { return(0); }
