Wow. Given how much I hate Python's syntax, I never thought I'd see myself typing this: Python's forced indentation is not as bad as Fortran's actually.

Fortran (and COBOL) has traditionally designated different behaviour to different columns. A character in a specific column has a different meaning than if the same character is in a different column. A variable-width font in that situation is completely unmanageable.

Nowdays, both Fortran and COBOL has changed this stupid design and you are now allowed to indent any way you want. If only Python could grow up too...

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get to work.

Working...
