tab width (in a monospaced editor)

@Felthry i don't actually *use* tabs but i have them set to display as 8 cos that's what ghc interprets them as

@Felthry glasgow haskell compiler. so i guess i should have said haskell since being a layout sensitive language it's necessarily dictated by the standard

but yeah no one actually uses tabs in haskell because it's too much trouble, and actually indenting by 8 would make you fall off the page pretty fast

@g layout sensitive, like python you mean? we don't know haskell
-F

@Felthry basically yeah, but the rules are a bit different from python's ofc

Follow

@g well yeah, naturally, every language has its own syntax
-F
