So... we could use tabs for indenting code..

But what if the IDE just recognized if a file is indented with 2, 3, 4 or 8 spaces, and then treats any such number of spaces as a tab when displaying the code? Wouldn't that be way easier?

Oh Haskell, not you too...
#TabsVsSpaces #haskell
3 spaces in a tab?! #tabsvsspaces
@Dtl perhaps they mean spaces? #TabsVsSpaces

This is what I imagine people's code looks like when they complain about the forced indentation in #python.

And yes, this code is correct.

Reading about how tabs for indentation are an accessibility issue for some suddenly makes me feel like I should switch to tabs in all my projects.

Are there any accessibility concerns that would actually point to using spaces instead of tabs? Or is it just familiarity? Assuming you work with a code style where you don't need to align things to columns that don't divide nicely to tab levels.

i hate having to read code on github with an 8 space tab width, afaik i can't view code using a custom width

i especially hate people who use spaces to indent their code

fuck all of you

It's impossible for a computer nerd to hear "TABs" without thinking about the age-old conflict about tabs vs spaces for indentation of program text.

In the disability context #TabsVsSpaces could be about how people without disabilities go and design bad spaces that work only for them.

Just to confuse things. πŸ˜…

New Kate instance, new setup. Tabs, not spaces!
