Do you not use indentation in other languages?
@UndercoverUlrikHD @unionagainstdhmo
It's a big difference if indentation is a purely cosmetic thing or an integral, functional requirement of a language.
It's just forces what should be standard practice anyway though. Poorly formatted code in languages relying on curly braces is far more annoying to parse in my opinion.
Absolutely not, python is an actual programming language with sane error handling and arbitrarily nestable data structures.
Don't be so superficial. When learning something, go with the flow and try to work with the design choices, not against them.
Python simply writes a bit differently: you do e.g. more function definitions and list comprehensions.
