Tabs or Spaces

Name: Anonymous 2007-10-18 10:22

Should I use tabs, or spaces to indent my code?

Why would you choose to use an editor that makes you indent manually?

because most editors have the ability to have the tab key insert 4 spaces instead of \t

because indentation is trivial.

You're telling me that it's better to do trivial things yourself than to make the computer do it for you? Do you just not know how to program or something?

It doesn't matter who you are. I asked

and you said
because indentation is trivial.

Yes.

Neither.  Spacing is part of the presentation layer, not the underlying code structure that the system stores, and allows each editor to have their own indentation and spacing preferences without stomping over version control.  Oh, wait, you're still using fucking direct 8-bit text streams for source?

I'm not talking about tabs/spaces. lern2reading comprehension and context.

Seconded.

One space = portable and leading spaces are easily converted into tabs if you want.

I personally hate tab characters.

If you had a good text editor you wouldn't need to hit space four times.

Sussman uses spaces!

Call me a massive c-faggot which i probably am, but spaces in C for indendation are utterly stupid.
Tabs all the way in C.
When we talk about programming i have C in mind, while others don't (silly of me)
However, i understand why someone who uses Haskell needs spaces instead of tabs.

If you understood C, you'd use spaces.
