I do like the idea of having an intent level character. And once we have that, we don’t need AltGr7 etc (curly braces) to denote which level we’re at either, the whitespace has all the information we need.
But ultimately I just use whatever is default for the language formatter these days. My own personal preferences on that isn’t actually that important, and I find that’s a common feeling once someone just works with the default for a while.
I also get the im pression that the memes with German com pound words take off be cause English split all their com pounded words with spaces, so you get stuff like “chain saw” in stead of “motorsag” and so on.
We Norwegians who in stead make fun of people who write com pounded words with spaces (orddelingsfeil, wortteilenfehl oder so) don’t really get their fascin ation.
