"There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3."

I laughed too. He makes a good point about the amount of indentation in code.

As someone who spends most of their time in JavaScript, I see how hard it would be to fit our code to this, and at the same time how much we'd all benefit if we tried to.

I just looked at the random JS file on top of my editor... have some refactoring to do.

I understand your point. I am having some rethinking about my style of writing too :)
