if you had to do 100 days of rejection, where you ask things you are sure you will be rejected, what sorts of things would you ask and of whom?

Why didn't we write it in <other language>? It's better.

We had a guy who said during interview for a python role that a language using tabs that way couldn't be OK. Uhmz, OK bye

@retoor He's not wrong though.

I'd ask to focus on baking new features rather than refactoring this whole thing to make it fly and covering it properly with tests.

Make it rain in features!!

@donkulator the indenting is one of python's perks. You're used to it in notime. You're doing it also in other language anyway. Difference is no curly braces.

The indenting is also the reason python doesn't use bison or yacc to lex, it wasn't possible

@retoor You can get used to all sorts of things.

@retoor Late to the party, and my apologies in advance, but as the elected by fucking no-one representative of the Arcane Fuckwits Association I'm morally and legally bound to inform you that one can go *without* braces OR indentation -- all it takes is __one__ fucking END keyword to terminate blocks when there's more than one level of nesting.

But we may then ask: why have a SINGLE additional keyword, as opposed to NONE, if indentation does the trick just fine? A good question. Try doubling the indentation for a couple lines in a loop, or accidentally mixing spaces and tabs on an editor stupid enough not to highlight the mistake. Shoot, why bother: we all know unprintable characters are easy to spot. If you replace them with `········` long long flying ellipses or similar, that is.

In essence, the crackhead's manual to ultimate power dictates that a blank character's function should be limited to the mere separation of tokens, and we base this in absolutely nothing.
