the silly insane pythonic whitespace significance and lack of formatter drove me nuts. LSP didnt work half the time. Loved the idea, will visit again, but it resisted me expressing my program. If they get rid of the whitespace malarkey (why do i have to say it it!?) and the dev tools spruce up, im all in baby

Flix does not have significant whitespace. Where did you run into trouble? You are welcome to swing by Gitter if you need help. We are friendly :-)

Flix looks great! I was speaking to the unison quirks.
