A discussion about whitespace and programming 4th dimensionally
Tuesday, November 10th, 2009Dan: http://stackoverflow.com…
Dan: python!
Dan: answer: python is wack
Me: from __future__ import division
Me: Oh shit that package is from the future!
Dan: haha
Dan: in the future all whitespace is meaningful
Dan: maybe the next generation of strict constitutionalists will be python programmers and look at what the founding fathers meant in their use of whitespace
Me:
In order to maintain a well-formed Militia
people should have guns
Me: Aha!
Me: Only in the context of the well-formed Militia block does that apply!
Me: Python wins again.
Dan: crazy: http://timhatch.com/projects/pybraces/
Me: Someone could probably write a pretty solid one.
Dan: just import it from the future and it will already have been done
Me: Haha. I should use that more often.
Dan: heh, it’s like that part at the end of bill & ted 2 where they say they traveled back in time in the future to plant the key, etc..
Me: Heh, I don’t remember as much of Bill and Ted 2 as you.
Dan: maybe that’s the next big thing after agile, programming 4th dimensionally
Dan: i saw that movie way too many times
Me: Space-oriented, future methodology is where it’a at.
Me: In the future.
Me: Bill and Ted? Or Back to the Future?
Dan: both
