As someone put it, "Emacs is a great operating system; all it needs is a good
text editor."
Seriously, Emacs is an amazing piece of technology. It's customizable a
I don't know if switching from nano to emacs would make a difference,
but the current behavior of my console screen reader is that all white
space is unvoiced in all contexts, and if there's a way to make it
voice whitespace, I don't know how to do it.

For me, Python is pretty easy since Emacspeak reads indentation. Reading
manpages is also easy because in Emacs one can move from heading to heading.

Point taken. Some languages, such as Go, actually enforce consistent
indentation. Elixir has a formatter, but use of it is optional (unless you're

Oh, I don't mind indentation per se... but in C++, the worse that
happens with a misplaced tab is that the code is a little harder to
parse visually. In Python, a misplaced tab can cause logic errors that
are a real gnoll to track down and will usually not trigger an
interpreter error... Misplaced
