    I dgaf about indices starting at 0 or 1, I can deal with case-insensitivity, but syntactically significant whitespace drives me up the wall.

      What’s so hard to understand about it? It’s how you should format your code anyway. Only it’s enforced.

        It’s quite often I have to second guess whether the code is correctly intended or not. Is this line supposed to be part of this if block or should I remove that extra indentation? It’s not always entirely obvious. Extra troublesome during refactors.

        In other languages it’s always obvious when a line is incorrectly indented.

        sometimes, a script needs to be edited in a plain text editor, without having access to an lsp or any other dev tools.
