Stop the Vertical Tab Madness

Programming in the 21st Century - James Hague - July 29, 2010

In One Small Step Toward Reducing Programming Language Complexity I added “Who even knows what “v” (vertical tab) does?” as an off the cuff comment. Re-reading that made me realize something that’s blatantly obvious in retrospect, so obvious that I’ve gone all this time without…
