Whitespace is worthless extra bytes

Name: Anonymous 2007-05-16 17:11 ID:g5owuBHL

Ok /prog/, we all know indentation is stupid, but why does anyone use whitespace *anywhere*? It just makes the code take up that much more space on the disk, and it slows down the compiler because it has to read past all the whitespace so it can parse the code. I got rid of all my whitespace and my programs build so much faster now!

I'd use whitespace instead of parens to decide order of evaluation. For example:
i = 2+3 * 5
means you have to do 2+3 first. For niceness, I'd require an equal number of spaces before and after each operator. Another example:
i = 2 + 3/2  *  8
