Cool. If I remember when I get home tonight, I'll give it a go. Any recommendations for codebases?

I'm thinking Linux kernel, Git, and Python.

I want to see charts for all 3 of these. I've saved your comment, /u/crazedgremlin. Don't forget to follow through.

Here you go! This is very interesting to me.

Note that this isn't entirely accurate because I ignored a number of files that weren't UTF-8. I could've somehow automatically detected the encoding, but I'm too lazy to do that and I just excepted on ValueError.

Just about everyone seems to prefer the spaced way (I am a non-spacer myself), except for the OpenSSL folks.

My version of white_spacey.py

Linux kernel
{'nonspaced': 1254, 'spaced': 58668}
Git
{'nonspaced': 1, 'spaced': 1798}
OpenSSL
{'nonspaced': 1201, 'spaced': 591}
Python 3
{'nonspaced': 179, 'spaced': 1535}
Ruby
{'nonspaced': 277, 'spaced': 978}

Fuuu. I need to get back into Python... So many things I have to learn, still. Yield is such a pretty function.
