Re: Syntactic whitespace

@technopaul

The title is irrelevant in my opinion as to the biggest issues a poster in the underlying chain may perceive. I have generally found the syntactic whitespace to be divisive. Some love the way it forces uniform indentation within the code base and others hate that an indent alters interpretation. It's almost a religious debate to some. It depends on what you've used before and who you've worked with. Some people are just f*cking lazy and will seemingly deliberately randomise their code layout just to sh*t you.

I was asking to see if they had more technical issues - use of GIL prevents me doing X/Y/Z etc.
