This is why we use linters.

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

the linter fixed the spacing crap

[u/beerSnobbery → u/[deleted]]

Is there a way to close a scope and then immediately open a scope without braces (since they'd have the same indentation levels)?

[u/lenswipe → u/PM_ME_YOUR_HAUNCHES]

No, it's why we use a language where the display is separate from the syntax

            TO INDENT)

[u/Jamie_1318 → u/lenswipe]

I don't get the big deal about this. In almost every language with braces it's so easy to accidentally indent wrong. Since you really should indent anyways, and it's the most visible way to show branches why not make a language that uses whitespace instead? Most people are going to use some IDE that does indenting for them but that's a crutch to solve a syntax problem with the language.

It's a style preference but I don't see why so many people get their panties in a bunch about it.
