It is not whitespace signficant.

That is indented to assist the human reader, not the compiler.

so you're telling me this is valid Pony?

actor Main

new create(env: Env) =>

TCPListener(TCPListenAuth(env.root), Listener(env.out))

??

If so, I don't want to every see that language in my life ever again.

So you like languages that treat whitespace as syntax.

That's fine, we all have our preferences :D

No? But Pony is clearly just like python in terms of whitespace?
