>>43Benefits of not joining the indentation cult:
1.Lower file sizes
2.More data fits on one screen "The visual field is a scarce UI commodity"
3.Code doesn't get mangled due text filters and processing(indented code like python suffers from it well).
4.Its faster to read:
Reading indented code requires more scrolling and mental processing(comparing visual indentation with logical structure).
5.Its faster to write:
Without superficial indentation rules and policies, code writing naturally flows at the speed of typing out mental concepts(aids "Flow state"). No spacing, no indentation, no distraction: focus is always on code and not the aesthetic form it takes.
6.Its easier to debug:
Indented code error bring little context, often only a single statement.
Non-indented code errors show up as blocks of code.
7.Its terse structure allow to keep more of code in mind at the same time:with indented code you can't see it all due #2
