Re: Nobody Wants to Write YAML

Because of how most text tools work, even something like copy and paste, I personally avoid any language which uses whitespace for its syntax.

I imagine one day I will use Python, and I've already an idea of what syntax style I will use. It will look like this:

  def SomeFunction (firstArgument, argumentTheSecond): #{
     WriteLog("SomeFunction(", firstArgument, argumentTheSecond, ")")#;

     print("Hello, World!")#;
  #}
This way, if I ever have to copy and paste it, and the whole thing gets de-indented, I am not completely lost.
