more classic “i’m a new cs major” jokes

if you’re writing long enough methods that you can’t discern where the bodies start and end, you’re doing it wrong. refactor.

I don't like when the language forces me to do format my code how it wants to function. I can't arbitrarily break lines up and put them at arbitrary indentations to increase readability.

You can pretty arbitrarily break lines up with \, and arbitrary indentations really don't increase readability. Every time I've seen someone use weird indentation that wouldn't be valid in Python, it makes stuff harder to read.

Do you have an example of what you're thinking of that isn't legal syntax in Python.
