Ain't it fun! That's true of several FP languages, including F# in its "light" mode. Especially on match statements, I often find myself indenting until the IDE stops underlining the expression in red, hahaha.

Python does the same thing... it makes scripting quick and easy, but if a program gets really large and complicated...oh boy, those whitespace problems are a b@#$h to find.
Add a sprinkling of multiple developers working on the same project and everyone uses a different editor (tabs are not guaranteed to be any number of spaces)...

The same thing convinced me to move to TypeScript from CoffeeScript

Look in the dictionary under 'masochism' and you will find some more samples.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Ahhh - memories of FORTRAN; column 7
But, if this works with your editors, I always set the editor to convert tabs to spaces. I use the tab key to align stuff but end up with nice spaces.
Added bonus! ! ! ! Limited Time Only ! ! !
If you use a different editor with tab width set to a different value it doesn't hurt to open your spaces only file.

In retrospect, something like brainf**k[^] is probably a good fit, but if I was starting over, something soft and quick, like Python.

Good question... do you pick something that is 'efficient' or 'maintainable in old-age'?
Do you pick a passing fad or something with staying power?
The language may be operating system dependent...
So... with all that being said: Fortran.
I spent a significant portion of my professional career in it, and there wasn't much it couldn't do.
