These features are not trivial to implement Implementation of three different word wrapping algorithms in Scintilla took 52 lines of code. For comparison: a rudimentary D lexer is only modest 400 lines. requires things like pygments and other tools used to render code to the web with all kinds of logic to handle dynamic viewports of the shown code. You think too web 2.0, browsers wrap text since the beginning, tools only need to stop fight with them.

That will be because it is a reasonably designed font. I have to admit though, the glyph widths are a bit large in the example font.

Many C++ projects are returning to it, Go enforces it if you let it,

Now, that you mentioned Python, it was one of the main reasons why I moved away
from tabs. I was used to tab-completion in the shell and Python's interactive
interpreter (and didn't want to rebind that feature to some key combination on
every system that I worked with). Whenever I copied chunks of tab-indented
source code into the interpreter, it got screwed up, because the indentations
had vanished, so eventually I switched to using spaces only and had no problems
ever since.
I can also say from experience that removing tabs from Phobos source has removed
a lot of irritation with messed up code rendering and wasted effort arguing
about it. We're not going back :-)
And I am not going to work on Phobos for exactly the same reasons. My
loss, not yours.
You must be joking. :)
If at all, the problem with Phobos' style isn't with horizontal spacing but
vertical space.
Consider the waste of space below. Too much scrolling and I lose focus. Now,
*that* is really irritating. ;)

Streaming, making a book!
I'm starting a live stream[1] for making a book. The book is The way to program - Lets think like a D(eveloper) For now I will only commit to Mondays 12pm UTC+0. I may stream at random times beyond that. Check my Twitter as to when that might be[2]. The book I am making is available at[0]. For published versions of it[3]. Published version will not be free, but the raw resources used to create it are under a creative commons license. The book's purpose is to not teach D. Instead it focuses on teaching programming concepts and ideas using D as a base. Assuming the book creation is a success I have a few other books in the pipeline. The second book will be covering sockets and threading via IRC/XMPP. Third would be Web development. Fourth UI's. There has already been a few streams, so content has already got a good start. If there is interest, I may stream some of Devisualization project development. Usually the stream will last 2-3 hours depending upon how many watch and interact. A couple days ago livecoding.tv came out of closed beta. Feel free to join! Disclaimer: I am not affiliated with livecoding.tv. Although the devs are great.
