    Amateur! I use coments so it looks like this:

    function main(){ /tab/if(fish==2){ /tab//tab/console.log(“i need help”); /tab/} }

      For real. OP needs to give up on this ridiculous notion of tabbed whitespace and learn to use real, monospaced indentation. How wide is a tab? OP couldn’t tell you because tabs are inherently dishonest – a lie concocted by big keyboard to poison the unwashed programmer masses.

    …this…this can’t be real…no one is that much of a sadist are they?

    This whole thread is what nightmares are made of.

      So at my work we’ve implemented a automatic code formatter. Instead of having discussions about the process of changing the configuration file we just put it up on GitHub. I think I might have found a fun April fool’s prank.

    I know why it’s there, but it still annoys me that there’s a semicolon on the last line

    If people want me to write into my code what it does, I guess I’ll label everything:

    #include <iostream>
    #include <cstdint>
    
    #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-label"
    
    int main()
    {
    A:int a = 4;
    B:if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100)
    BA:std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else
    BB:std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
    C:return 0;
    }
    

    Note that this is much better for code style because - as opposed to the semicolon indentation- the single statement if and else branches still work. The trailing else is on the same line on purpose, it’s so small it doesn’t need its own line. Here’s another style with similar properties:

    [[,]]int a = 4;
    [[,]]if ((uintptr_t)&a & 0x100)
    [[,,]]std::cout << "hi" << std::endl; else
    [[,]]std::cout << "hello" << std::endl;
    [[,]]return 0;

    Oh, that’s weird. Kinda not that bad- … wait, where are the semi…co…lon…s… What? OH NO!! What the fuck! Hahahah, that’s awful. There’s some real bad stuff in this thread, but that first one is deceptively awful. Whew.

    Really missing Haskell now :P
