C'Mon Python, Surely You Can Figure Out What I Meant

This meme perfectly captures the duality of programming languages. On the left, we have the muscular Doge representing "Any other language" where you can cram an entire project into one line and the compiler just shrugs and says "whatever." Meanwhile, Python (the wimpy Doge) is having an existential crisis because you forgot a single space in your indentation. Python's strict whitespace requirements will have you staring at "IndentationError" for 30 minutes before realizing you mixed tabs and spaces like some kind of monster. The compiler that was supposed to make your life easier is now questioning your entire existence because you dared to press the spacebar incorrectly. It's basically like having a grammar nazi as your interpreter.
