As for tabs, they're [not allowed in Nim 
code](https://play.nim-lang.org/#ix=2xQS), so the compiler would tell you.

A formatter could also mess up and delete whole lines. I mean, this is about 
bugs in the _tooling_ (be it formatting tools, compilers, whatsoever). In my 
opinion that's not a reason to change the _language_.

I've written a lot of Python code over the years and worked with other Python 
devs. The problems you describe come up _extremely_ rarely _in practice_. For 
example, it's _far_ more likely that the programmer introduced a bug because 
they misunderstood how the code should work than by changing the layout of the 
code by accident to not match the intention. (In this case, the intention will 
be clear, but the code will still be wrong.)

Please calm down. :-)
