Detecting Code Indentation
People love to hate tabs, but in a world where we represent logic in megabytes of alpha-numeric characters, doesn&#x27;t a semantic notation of indentation make just a little bit of sense?<p>Tabs are for indentation, spaces for alignment. These are different concepts, but spacers[1] just think whitespace is whitespace are forever double tapping their spacebar like some sick mental tick that can&#x27;t be cured.<p>Your editor should not need to detect tab size. You should be able to size your tabs however you want. A tab is an indentation, weather you want it to be 2 chars or 20. It shouldn&#x27;t matter.<p>The fact that a neural network is being used to detect tab size, just shows how much ground tabbers have lost to the space infidels[2].<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jwz.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;tabs-vs-spaces.html" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.jwz.org&#x2F;doc&#x2F;tabs-vs-spaces.html</a><p>[2] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.codinghorror.com&#x2F;death-to-the-space-infidels&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;blog.codinghorror.com&#x2F;death-to-the-space-infidels&#x2F;</a>
