The RepRap ethos is that you are duty bound to pass on at least two to keep the growth exponential.

Competent engineers indent properly anyway. If anyone doesn't, their code isn't worth looking at anyway!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I'm enjoying your blog. Once you've got one up and running, I'll have to get you to replicate me one! :)<BR/><BR/>SBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-46332327135862509812007-04-30T18:16:00.000+01:002007-04-30T18:16:00.000+01:00Yes must give Ruby a try sometime, EW also speaks ...Yes must give Ruby a try sometime, EW also speaks highly of it. I like the Python whitespace thing because it forces people to indent their code properly and removes the need for braces. It's a pain if you want to comment bits of code out though. It's particularly a pain with this blog as it seems to have a bug which eats whitespace each time you edit a page.nopheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12801535866788103677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4339813531032979196.post-83863759424407211842007-04-30T11:48:00.000+01:002007-04-30T11:48:00.000+01:00True, python is productive compared to C++.I don't...True, python is productive compared to C++.<BR/><BR/>I don't like the fact that it is a bit prescriptive about how you use whitespace though.<BR/><BR/>Ruby is nice - you should try it if you haven't already!<BR/><BR/>StephenBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
