Just switch to python

Yeah, then you just have to worry about missing whitespace, instead lol

Python is not very good at this. TypeScript with prettier will very often add missing commas or semi colons for me. I never have to worry about whitespace before the formatter comes into play.

Python’s whitespacing felt nice in the days when there wasn’t a ton of tooling around auto formatting but now it feels like a burden.
