I can’t agree with that.

Curly bracket blocks are obviously visible at a glance. If I incorrectly move one around it’s obvious.

If I shift tab a section of python code around, I may be breaking an if state without noticing if I didn’t pay attention to a specific colon on one line.

Imo s-expressions are the easiest to move around, but have the same issue of being hard to scan as tabs.




Whitespace works better in the context of statically typed functional programming, I’ll give you that!
