I regularly use languages where whitespace is not significant. However, in those languages, whitespace is not significant. It isn’t significant some of the time and not significant some of the time. It is a separator all of the time.

Coffeescript is a language where whitespace is held out to be significant, so I’m simply saying “Great! Well in that case, let’s make it more significant."

I have no argument with the idea that perfectly good programming languages do not consider whitespace significant.
