    Perl is the only language that looks just as incomprehensible before and after a rot13 transformation.

    Python on the other hand is the only language that will cause your application to stop working because you mixed up tabs and spaces, even though it looks perfectly fine on your scr.

    And lisp is hard to say if you have one.

      It is absolutely fine to mix tabs and spaces in Python, as long as you are consistent about it. It’s not recommended though, as it’s easy to mess up if you’re not paying attention. Most IDE’s will convert tabs to spaces anyway so it’s a bit of a non-issue.

      APL would like a word, though I imagine ROT13 on APL source code might actually be horrific.
