Unless somebody provides a good research on this topic, I dare to say, that it
is total BS.
BTW, many people complain about syntax with significant whitespace, and still
use whitespace to indent code in blocks, denoted with some parenthesis...
If whitespace is so bad, why this code:
for i in 1..10 {
doSomething(i)
doSomethingElse(i)
}
Run
or even this:
for i in 1..10
{
doSomething(i)
doSomethingElse(i)
}
Run
is used instead of this:
for i in 1..10 {
doSomething(i)
doSomethingElse(i) }
Run
or this:
for i in 1..10
{ doSomething(i)
doSomethingElse(i) }
Run
To sum it up, if the mentioned post author makes such statements, I doubt there
is any value in the whole text. And it seems, that the Araq's answer supports
this statement.
