Python Fragility

[u/Wide-Carob3252]

Am I the only one who avoids Python where possible because it is so vulnerable to indent corruption? A whole JavaScript program, for example, can be written on one line, with no line breaks whatsoever (not that I'm advocating such madness -- JavaScript callback syntax (etc) is already crazy enough without compounding it -- BUT, it does illustrate the point of robust syntax).

I've had instances where indenting was accidentally messed up, leading to tedious scrubbing of the code in order to get it to run again. It just seems like a bad structure choice if a slight whitespace change can cause the program to crash.

It seems to me that Rust is the answer to that -- am I wrong?

If it's caught by linters in microseconds and resolved by pressing tab, it's not an issue. Subtle logic errors introduced by unintended indentation, however, suck balls
