I would like to apply but not to create an account on ycombinator.com or upload my personal data to a ycombinator server.


Love motivated me to replace C.


Why? Can you give a few examples?


Significant indentation alone is sufficient. I loathe it.


It's the python litmus test, basically. I think a large number of people (including me) can live with it (and maybe even appreciate the vertical space improvements) while a different but still large number of people (like you) can't stand it (and perhaps find it to be an intolerable source of programming errors.)


I think if it was just that I might have eventually tolerated it, but it's a really big one which meant I approached every other part of Python with much lower tolerance for anything else which didn't just perfectly match what I want...


What do you prefer instead? And why?


Anyone interested in having an all-in-one tool that does zero-downtime Postgres updates where the only input is database credentials? Nothing to setup manually.
