I think tabs vs spaces is effectively the same argument as bsd vs gpl. bsd = code truly free of restrictions. allows future programmers to do what they want with the code. gpl = "free" code, but with restrictions. future programmers must comply with restrictions that you have chosen to apply to the code.
tabs = code truly free of restrictions. allows future programmers to view the code with the level of indent they prefer. spaces = code with restrictions. future programmers must comply with the indenting that you have chosen to apply to the code. In summary, tabs good, spaces meh. :) On Jun 30, 12:41 am, Reinier Zwitserloot <[email protected]> wrote: > I don't understand the tabs v. spaces war.
