At least it’s not python where the indenting makes a

And for that reason, I have never used Python. (I have a mental block
about that.)
As an 80-column aside, my alma mater allowed free runs in PL/C
(remember that?) on card decks. I always numbered my cards in columns
73+ (and that save me from my clumsiness more than once). One day,
they decided to read in all 80 columns. Easily fixed by programming a
card-punch to add /* and */ but highly annoying. But using cards
probably baked 80 columns into my head.
