I tend to be like using significant whitespace as long as I can use delimiters where 
I need to. What is your general opinion on the use of significant whitespace in a 
langauge. 
 
 Two langauges that take somewhat different approches to this are haskell and 
python.  
  
 haskell takes a layout based approach, basically everything at the same level of 
indentation is in the same block. I believe it also allows only spaces. It also allows 
for standard dilimiters where needed. 
 
 Python uses indentation as well, though it allows both spaces and tabs to serve.
