Then you need to throw out C and C++. It is a common fallacy that C is
not sensitive to whitespace.
Straw horse, straw horse! You went from rearranging indentation to white
space separating tokens. Huge jump completely unjustified by my
statement.
And you went from "rearranging indentation incorrectly introduces bugs"
equals "deficiency in the language".
I maintain that "rearranging indentation" introduces bugs *regardless*
of language.
The fact that Python has significant whitespace avoids the whole debate.
If it bugs you, go use Ruby.
