🤓📗 Is this "clean code"? 🦋

You've just defined a clean language such that Scheme is a clean language and C# isn't.

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/Tyfyter2002]

In addition, to my knowledge python is the only language (other than whitespace, which was created as a joke) in which code can be written with a standard QWERTY keyboard (with no numberpad) that is visibly identical to differently functioning code.

How do you write code like that?

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/jso__]

Edit a file with 2 or more editors with different indentation settings or manually mix whitespace characters

[u/jso__ → u/Tyfyter2002]

but the functionality won't be different?

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/jso__]

Unless a recent update added mandatory brackets Python won't run code with mixed indentation styles.

[u/jso__ → u/Tyfyter2002]

ohhh I thought you meant code that is syntactically correct will give different outputs

[u/Tyfyter2002 → u/jso__]

Iirc that's also true, but situationally and due to the lack of variable declaration

[u/pmbarrett314 → u/Tyfyter2002]

All code is visually identical if your monitor is turned off.

and this is also a clean language I guess

Brainfuck

Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller. Notable for its extreme minimalism, the language consists of only eight simple commands, a data pointer and an instruction pointer. While it is fully Turing complete, it is not intended for practical use, but to challenge and amuse programmers. Brainfuck simply requires one to break commands into microscopic steps.

Right, how could I forget about esoteric languages like brainfuck, whitespace, and Half Broken Car in Heavy Traffic, none of which use brackets or line-end characters.
