View my original proposal in a fixed-width font and you will understand it.
Your assumption that I didn't use a fixed-width font is wrong. I *always* use fixed-width fonts for email. And don't imagine that the only reason I could disagree with your proposal is that I don't understand it. I understand your proposal very well, and still disagree.
That indentation style is quite idiomatic in Haskell.
Irrelevant. Python does not have a "let name=value" statement, so the Haskell "let" idiom does not apply. There is an enormous difference between the leading fixed-width "let" and variable-width "if" clauses: let x = value y = name let extremely_long_name_that_goes_on_and_on = value name = value let foo = value bar = value versus: if f: do_this() do_that() if long_condition: do_this() do_that() elif flag: do_this() do_that() -- Steven
