Objectively bad things can still be “successful” if stupid people insist on using them.
The problem with semantic whitespace:
- whitespace is harder to read than code. Treating whitespace as code means your code is more prone to bugs and harder to debug, and often huge blocks of code are affected at a time
- whitespace is an accessibility feature. It is a helper for the human reader, not the compiler/interpreter. Dictating exactly how whitespace must be used so that the machine can understand it is bad for human accessibility











Wow did this make a difference, I noticed right away. I consciously thought to myself, as soon as the movie started, that it looked like “a film”.
