Python problems...Why don't Python editors indicate tabs/spaces with some sort of symbol? Perhaps '{' for tab and ' ' for space. To be even more helpful, the editor could indicate the end of a block with '}' ?

My plea to all DevelopersThe answer is ALWAYS to compromise and keep everyone somewhat happy. Therefore, I propose dm\dm\yyyy.

Elephanting Visual Studio CodeYay, editing obscure json config files to get it to do (almost) exactly what you want - Windows is slowly, but surely, turning into Linux!

Go or Golang: the official answerIn any case, I prefer Google's follow-up - Ogle (or should that be Oglelang?).

Great News! VB6 support likely to continue into Windows 12Yes - APL. That could just be because I wouldn't know what appalling APL code looks like (or perhaps ALL APL looks appalling) :)

Great News! VB6 support likely to continue into Windows 12I think support in this case means Microsoft tests the old code against new Windows versions. Don't know what they would do if it didn't work. Still, it is an excellent RAD language (Runaway After Deployment).

Great News! VB6 support likely to continue into Windows 12Haven't used VB6 in years. I have seen some appalling stuff written in it (functions called "UseThisOne", "ThisOneWorks" (it didn't) and "Fred2" (wonder what happened to Fred1 ?) together with your own personal favourite lots of "Resume Next" etc).

Great News! VB6 support likely to continue into Windows 12Couldn't see this mentioned anywhere.
VB6 just got an important boost from Microsoft blogger Scott Hanselman. In his post (bit.ly/2rcPD0f), Hanselman shows how to configure a VB6 app to be hosted in the Windows 10 Store, using the Microsoft Desktop Bridge infrastructure and tools (bit.ly/2HFVzcc). That’s huge, as hosting an app in the store means that Microsoft is at least somewhat vouching for its compatibility and content. Potential purchasers perceive it as sort of a Good Computing Seal™
Real programmers rejoice!
