3 spaces!
Fight me!
Just set your tab width to 1. No more argument now.
Create a language where tabs are used for indentation while comments are formed by one space character at the beginning of a line, followed by a tab. Exactly eight spaces at the beginning of a line means that line is continuation of the previous one.
Maybe I’ll start an Anarchy Programming sublemmy.
My indentation is secretly the actual program written in the whitespace programming language.
That’s why you get the best of both worlds, and combine them to use tabspaces. Everyone will hate you equally, achieving true equality in the process.
Tab characters are space efficient and configurable for each person in their editor. Space characters are consistent between developers.
Solution: each tabspace indent is a random width, making it both inconsistent and non-configurable. Also, each character is the size of at least four regular characters, so it’s not even space efficient
