The whitespace has to do with horizontal whitespace (tabs) predominantly.
When coding and "if" statement, for example, there's no concept of curly
braces to surround your code block with. You tab-indent for the entire
contents of the if statement and then the compiler knows the if statement is
done when you un-indent.
It's a bit quirky, but it does force you to write clean formatted code,
which I really like. Vertical whitespace (space between code blocks) doesn't
matter in my experience.
