cadence....

Don't be lazy. Write yourself a spreadsheet to do it.

Spreadsheet? A few years ago I got a document in WordPerfect to do it.

Is mental arithmetic considered the laziest of all methods, cos it sure
sounds like a lot less pain than some of the suggestions!

It has the advantage of forcing people to lay their code out in a
vaguely readable way tho'.

I used to think that (having had bad experiences with parallel fortran during
my PhD) but actually Python is converting me. Used with a good editor, it
makes sense.

Way OT I know...

I'm with you on this one. What is the point of a compiler that is
sensitive to spacing? Various assemblers have been guilty of this in the
past.

The point is that people should lay out code with proper indentation.
Making the language use indentation to specify the scope of block
forces people to do this. It also means that you don't need seperate
tokens to delimit the start and end of blocks.

I'm not especially in favour of this ... but it's not a completely
silly idea.

(Hmm... I seem to have be making lots of non-cycling posts to u.r.c in
the last few days.)

But to make it compulsory forces people to use "your" idea of good
layout. As with skinning cats, there is more than one way to lay out
code! :-)

And makes it painfully easy to misplace a line and introduce bugs.

I'm not attacking you, but I still think it's an exceptionally silly
idea. It adds an unnecessary complexity to the language. People are very
good at not noticing whitespace so making blocks dependant upon it is
dangerous.

u.r.c? Er... there's a theme there somewhere, but I can't quite place my
finger on it. Something to do with cyclic code?

Ditto COBOL. (Yes, I occasionally get to write the stuff - and this is in
our _new_ system!)

At least afaik python doesn't have a stupidly tiny line length limit and the
whitespace rules were designed for humans, not punched card machines.
