> The people who are pushing for Python in the browser are going to be in for a shock when they realize how inconvenient Python's indentation is to deal with.

The people who are pushing for Python in the browser are generally extremely familiar with Python, its indentation, and how silly this argument is.



I meant, it is inconvenient in a web context. People do crazy stuff with JS like minifying it writing it all on one-line in the console during testing. It would be different with Python. Sometimes I do write JS functions as one-liners for testing. The Chrome dev console isn't very good at handling tab characters or new lines.

It opens up a whole new can of worms.
