Preprocessing source code is an awful idea and I wish it never became widespread.

I used to hate semantic whitespace, but I came around when I was using it anyway.

    Oh bummer... I was so glad believing somebody understood the m4 joke.

    Text preprocessors for code are awful. But the m4 + python combo is so full of landmines that I'm wondering if I should try it.

    I can only defend myself with the good old "it is impossible to write a Y̶o̶u̶T̶u̶b̶e̶ Lemmy comment stupid enough that everyone will realise it is ment to be sarcastic"
