I want to use spaces to indent a code

[ganmacs]

Sorry if this issue is already discussed or duplicated one.

Ruby dev team no longer uses tabs* and ruby community uses space to indent code(e.g. rails, rubocop and fluentd ). I think it doesn't matter whether using spaces or tab, but I believe it's good to follow the community standard since it will be easy to understand for new contributors.
I'm happy if sockety project uses spaces to indent code. Are there any reasons to use tabs to ident?

Yes, it's already discussed.

Could you please tell me the link of discussion(or something else)? I'd like to know why this project uses spaces…

Let me summarise it so I can just link to it every time this discussion comes up.

This is my universal style guide, and I've linked through to RFC20 which explains the difference between tabs and spaces. https://github.com/ioquatix/universal-style-guide#indentation

If you've already invested in one way of doing indentation, its aways going to be a hard pill to swallow when someone does it differently. But look at it this way - diversity is good, even in code. Otherwise, we'd never make improvements.

Okay, I got your style. I'll follow this style in the project you organize (and I think that space or tab is a minor issue).
Thank you for your explanation. I'm glad to hear the reason 😄
