    there is still a problem if any programmers wish to use modern proportional fonts (because a space is no longer the same width as every other character).

    Ewww, who uses non monospaced fonts for programming ?

    Probably the same maniac using 8 spaces for indentation in C.

    Yes, my uni professor used that, and he was indeed a maniac, a brilliant one.

    Lmao I also had a brilliantly mad C teacher who used 8 spaces for indentation. Was yours from eastern Europe by any chance ?
