So says you. The entire python community disagrees, and that's not an inconsiderable number of folks.



No, the Python community consists of a mix of people who think that the manner in which whitespace is significant in Python (most languages have significant whitespace of some form) is advantageous, people who think it is neither advantageous nor disadvantageous that are attracted to the language for other reasons, and people who think that it is disadvantageous, but not so much as to negate other advantages they see in the language.

It is a mistake to conclude that because language X has feature Y, the entire community around language X thinks that feature Y is a positive feature.
