Same experience here. I guess that's because it's easier to miss a semicolon
or a brace in PHP than a whitespace in Python. I had to program in Python
for a few days last year. At first I had the same WTF reaction as Warp about
indentation but I found it much less error-prone in that respect than PHP. I
like PHP, but its unability to cope with missing stuff is a time sink, as it
outputs anything from a blank page to hebrew (unexpected
T_PAAMAYIM_NEKUDOTAYIM).
