Re: Whitespace
I think it's a good language for teaching non-programmers to program. That doesn't mean I have to like it for more advanced work.
This seems to be common a misconception here. It's actually very suited for advanced work with the relevant performance sections offloaded to C, C++, etc. People are starting to move from Matlab to Python not just because of the licence costs but because they're getting the same performance with the features they want. YMMV, of course.
There's a reason why many embedded devices have crap software - the programmers have never learned the necessary skills.
That, and the fact that managers have often pushed for features and releases and not given a shit about quality or security.
