    Amateur! I use coments so it looks like this:

    function main(){ /tab/if(fish==2){ /tab//tab/console.log(“i need help”); /tab/} }

      Him: I spend 3months on this project Me: how many lines does it takes now? Him: I would say around one line of code

    3 spaces is best because if the universe is chaos then everything in it should reflect that.

      I’m more about increasing spaces exponentially to really highlight how important each line is

      public boolean function() {
 if (method()) {
   if (otherMethod()) {
       for (Object o : list()) {
               if (o.isAlive()) {
                               return false;
               }
       }
   }
 }
 return true;
}

        Good, good. The less consistency the better.

        For line in lines: if char[0] == SPACE { del char[0]} else if char[0] == TAB {char[0] = SPACE*3}

        save(‘overwrite’)

      For real. OP needs to give up on this ridiculous notion of tabbed whitespace and learn to use real, monospaced indentation. How wide is a tab? OP couldn’t tell you because tabs are inherently dishonest – a lie concocted by big keyboard to poison the unwashed programmer masses.

        I meant for my personal projects. For the code that only I see, tabs are much better for navigation. But it’s true that if there are several of us working on the project, the spaces are much better.

    int mostCursedIndentation (const int someVal) @safe {

{}{}{}{}throw new Exception ("Value cannot be negative!");
{}{}}
{}{}return someVal * 5 - 3;

      i dont wanna talk about the lua version of this

      local function someFunction(arg)
do end local SomeLocal = 40;
do end if arg > SomeLocal then
do end do end SomeLocal = Somelocal + arg
do end elseif arg < SomeLocal then
do end do end arg = arg * 2
do end do end if SomeLocal > arg then
do end do end do end error("oh my god why are you trying to read this")
do end do end end
do end end
do end return SomeLocal
end

someFunction(-0.3000000000000124976137894613978561389741642978623178913786926473891)

      Can you start randomly nest them too?

      {{}}{}int foo = bar

    I just want Coke to bring back Tab and Pepsi to introduce a competing drink called Space

    …this…this can’t be real…no one is that much of a sadist are they?

    This whole thread is what nightmares are made of.

      So at my work we’ve implemented a automatic code formatter. Instead of having discussions about the process of changing the configuration file we just put it up on GitHub. I think I might have found a fun April fool’s prank.

    TIL you can turn any language into Brainf**k with the right .vimconfig.

    Oh, that’s weird. Kinda not that bad- … wait, where are the semi…co…lon…s… What? OH NO!! What the fuck! Hahahah, that’s awful. There’s some real bad stuff in this thread, but that first one is deceptively awful. Whew.

    Really missing Haskell now :P

    If people want me to write into my code what it does, I guess I’ll label everything:

    #include <iostream>
#include <cstdint>

#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-label"

int main()
{
A:int a = 4;
B:if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100)
BA:std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else
BB:std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
C:return 0;
}

    Note that this is much better for code style because - as opposed to the semicolon indentation- the single statement if and else branches still work. The trailing else is on the same line on purpose, it’s so small it doesn’t need its own line. Here’s another style with similar properties:

    [[,]]int a = 4;
[[,]]if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100)
[[,,]]std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else
[[,]]std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
[[,]]return 0;
