    Nope, Haskell was just a bad dream I had. It was just a dream, not real, that’s not real. I’m OK.

    OP is clearly a python user incapable of understanding punctuation

    Embrace the brace, you won’t be alone with a semi-colon(…e)

      Putting the opening curly brace of a code block on the same line that defines the conditions the code block will run under is bonkers?

        If we’re judging purely on readability then I think Allman probably has the edge, here. You can see at a glance where the encasement starts or ends in a vertical column on the far left. Of course, that’s a moot point if the programmer’s color coding is set up to where it is obvious.

    Reject the code block. Embrace the modularity. If you were going to write a code block, write a function instead.

      If you must avoid code blocks, that means you can only use one line. I don’t think you can be Turing complete if each function can only call one function. I don’t even think you can get a context-free grammar, Chomsky normal form at least allows a variable to expand into two variables.

        Please never bring up CNF again. I’m a year out of college, two years out of finite automata, and I still shudder when it’s brought up.

    I might have a personality disorder, but yeah seeing most code/languages (stuff more substantial than the image here) makes me think there’s something really wrong with them or me (or both) because I don’t see how you get into that. Though I know in many cases it probably could’ve been written differently.

    I like 1 language*, but it uses whitespace. I mean that’s not the defining factor, but there aren’t really different styles like this (though there is spaces for indentation depth, and I usually went with 1 space instead of the standard 2 so there is that).

    *=it’s somewhat niche and I never really started with it because… userspace reasons I guess is the best way to put it
