To me it just looks like you do not need the braces at all
-
A funny, but incredibly subtle joke to do would be to do a post like this, but get the indentation subtly wrong somewhere, so something that's supposed to be inside a loop is outside according to indentation, but is inside according to braces.

rustfmtis stopping me from writing code like this, and I have never been more happier using it after viewing this.
-
Then some jerk runs rustfmt and ruins all your hard work!
-
Can't you fix the default format to this?
-
-
It took me way too long to notice the horror on the right
-
My medication mostly.

I hate it with every fibre of my being but also secretly calmed by that column of statement terminators and brackets.
It's like the code representation of the Vancouver riots kiss photo.
-
Why would that cause the same feeling?
-
I'm not sure if you're taking the piss or not but I'm going to choose to believe you're asking in good faith!
The code just feels... messy, unfamiliar, almost chaotic - but the semicolons and curly brackets in a neat little row, formatted in a satisfying way, is like an island of calm and order in the middle of a formatting clusterfuck.
A moment of serenity in the middle of a riot, one may think.

This makes my deeply uncomfortable, like an itch I can't quite scratch.
-
More like a scratch you just can't itch.

DwangoAC and the TASBot crew are maniacs in the best possible way. I would like to continue having a high opinion of him, hence I will pretend that this post does not exist.

Wow, so this is possible.
Formatting is so damn arbitrary. Somebody has to have tried storing just the parse tree on disk, right?
-
If you do that, you lose formatting and comments every time you load the source from disk

The closest thing I've seen is Combobulate

My eyes! My eyes!!!!

Oh... Oh! Well, that is creative.

I’ll allow it!

My humanity.

I like python like really really like it. But this should be a warcrime
-
No

I don't know Rust. 🤷🏻♂️
(I mean, I don't know a lot of Python either so I can't even get the joke. 😞)

In Rust and lots of other languages you have to end each statement with a semicolon. The semi colon is usually placed right after the statement, but in this example there's indentation after each statement before the semicolon so they're all aligned.
There's also the curly brackets, they're padded in the same way, but those usually define where a scope (block) starts and ends making it even worse.

Look at the right side of the code editor
-
These scrollbars with issue indicators are becoming more and more fancy
-
lmao I didn't even notice

This is why python has to be putdown
-
I dislike Python as well, but it has it place. I only use it for quick code tests before doing it in other languages.
