I guess you are not a great fan of Python.<p>C was my first language, so I had the &quot;significant white space&quot; prejudice. The first time I tried it, I was hooked - because I hate code improperly indented.<p>Yes, you can go the gofmt route in order to eliminate indentation wars, but I love languages where the syntax enforce it: it is a very pragmatic design (no need for explicit start&#x2F;end of blocks, no  &quot;;&quot; to mark the end of the statement).<p>Strange enough, Nim enforces indentation but is very liberal with case sensitivity. Go figure... :-)
