Notably, Go makes a few other decisions that help with this approach: 1) `go fmt` fixes up whitespace, and is fast enough to run on every file-save. Although this sometimes screws up my undo stack. 2) Spaces are still used for alignment, but... 3) Only tabs are used before the content of a line, and... 4) Only spaces are used throughout the content of a line. The primary reason that I prefer spaces is that it means that I don't have to constantly look at hidden characters while editing. However, go fix's enforcement of the begin/intra-line separation of tabs and spaces alleviates that problem: If it's touching the left margin, it's a tab, otherwise, it's a space. |
