I wish I could do this with every IDE. Get rid of all the semicolons and most curly braces and replace them with structural whitespace. You could even save the files with the punctuation and compile that to whitespace when editing.
Used to, but now that I realise what the real hell is, i.e. collaboration with others who might (and will) have different ideas about how code should be formatted, I’d rather leave that job to an autoformatter, too much mental overhead for little gain when there’s a tool that can enforce a single style across the whole codebase with a simple command, or better yet, a git hook. If anyone complains I can point to the tool and say “sorry, take it up with it, not me”
For a moment I wondered why the Rust code was so much more readable than I remembered.
This would make a nice VS Codium plugin to deal with all the visual clutter. I actually like this.

You people are insane. Languages with meaningful whitespace are my personal hell. Don’t you value being able to space/tab/newline as you please?
