I would argue that the precedent, already within Python, for using a space to separate pieces of a string literal, is more important than precedents from other programming languages.
that precedent also tells us that the whitespace approach is a common source of errors. taking an approach that's known to be error-prone and applying it to more cases isn't necessarily a great way to build a better language.
