  • Yes i have. Several. Its kind of a right of passage after a certain point. They evaluate your desired commands by interpreting the symbols you use and the order you put them in. So yes if you put your symbols in different orders they will be interpreted differently. The way the text is displayed to users is a representation of how it is stored. If you want to have different viewing standards for the same code youre going to have to ALSO code for those different views. Or you force it and tell everyone that YOUR way is the ONLY way and you code your IDE as such.

    For pretty much every language BUT python you can “view” it however you want. So long as youre willing to code your display to do as much.









  • I see it almost the opposite way. A lot of what you’re describing is exactly why I don’t put much value in dressing fancy or performing “respectability” for strangers.

    Wearing a nice suit to the lodge once a week doesn’t make someone a good person. Plenty of people can dress up, look impressive in public, shake hands, say the right things, and then go home and be cruel, abusive, miserable, or drunk. I saw enough of that growing up to lose any belief that polished appearances are proof of character.

    So when people stop treating suits, fancy clothes, and public image as moral signals, I don’t see that as societal decay. In some ways, I see it as growth. People are realizing that looking respectable and being respectable are not the same thing.

    If anything, when I see someone using appearance, tradition, or status as a mask for behavior I don’t respect, it makes me want to be the opposite of what they stand for.
