How would JS with semantic whitespace difference from just auto-indenting a JS file?

We tried that for a while, yeah? https://coffeescript.org/

Oh god. You're right. I'd blotted that out of my memory.

It would look nicer.

This meaningful whitespace thing in python is dreck. Hate it. I am not a python hater; this is from experience on projects (though this is now less of a problem because of IDE help). I like python and I choose it for my personal projects. I will probably use this.

Lamdas and first-class functions might make it pretty ugly, I definitely write `func(arg1, arg2, (res) => console.log(res))` from time to time

Semantic whitespace looks nicer than non-semantic whitespace?
