It's so refreshing to not see anyone here whining about Python forcing them to indent their code properly. The kind of people who think that's a PROBLEM instead of a FEATURE really should not be ever writing any new code, and instead should be punished by forcing them to maintain other people's code written with that same lazy misguided attitude, until they recognize how self indulgent, inconsiderate, and disrespectful that is not just to other people who have to read their code, but also to themselves.

The same kind of people criticize Lisp for having too many parenthesis, then go on to write unintelligible shell scripts, Perl and C++ code chock full of skewbald menageries of sigils and punctuation bound together with a towering inferno of precedence rules, terribly worse than Lisp's "too many parenthesis".
