OK, it's a bit of a cliche. But it's a cliche because it's *true*.

You're not alone.
The first thing I do after installing an IDE or programmers editor is
to change the configuration to use spaces as identantion.
I still don't get why there is still people using real tabs as
indentation.

No: I believe they could only eliminate it "going backward
Here it is again... Python bypassed/discounted because, of all things,
scoping by indentation!?!?
This used to surprise me. Until I hear more and more otherwise

Yes. Maybe if I tried python instead of perl, probably there would be
no Dao language :). However there is one thing I don't like in python,
that is, scoping by indentation. But it would not annoy me so much that

The best way to compare Dao with Python in detail would be, join a SF
project PLEAC, and provide solutions in Dao to those common programming
problems listed in Perl Cookbook(by Tom Christiansen & Nathan
Torkington, published by O'Reilly). The solutions in Python is there,
