Jorden, Cave persons such as yourself can use tabs as long as your tab size is 8 characters. This is "hard-coded" into the Haskell 98 specification. Steve Jorden Mauro wrote:
First of all, *don't mix tabs and spaces for indentation* (best, don't use tabs at all).
I find the latter a bit too restrictive, especially since I use a text editor that is a glorified version of ed. Hitting the spacebar 19 times is too much to ask of me.
And as such, I am occasionally forced to do something when a tab doesn't get me past the word `where' or `let', but isn't that the majority of what Layout specifies?
Is there a good answer for caveman programmers who like ed and tabs?
