Instead of fpc/oberon/golang:
But in Object Pascal you have...
begin
...
if <whatever> then
begin
...
if <whatever_else> then
begin
...
Object Pascal blocks are longer to type - “begin” vs ”{” and “end” vs
”}”. Also IF statements require the extra “then” keyword etc.
As for indentation. At least with real TAB character indentation, you
can configure the width of a TAB as a user configurable parameter
without affecting the source code. With space indentation you are stuck
with whatever the original author did.
But lets not get into Space vs TAB vs Elastic Tabstops
indentation/alignemnt arguments - that’s a whole new war I don’t want to
tackle. :)
