C -- seems so. But I disagree about Java: my run was inconclusive, and
the analysis I originally linked to,
http://sideeffect.kr/popularconvention/#java (66% spaces), is almost
(thought not quite) within the margin of error.
The "\s\s" vs "\s{8}" distinction is also unlikely to matter in that
community, because if they do use tabs, it's almost always one tab per
indent level. Any Java developers reading this should feel free to
contradict me.
Considering that Java is a corporate-driven language, and both Oracle's
and Google's Java style guides advise to use spaces, it seems to be the
way to go.
Now, provided we agree to default to spaces in the majority of the
popular programming languages modes, what's the reasoning not to flip
the default? Have I missed some important languages (note that Python
and Ruby are already covered), or is using tabs supposed to be
beneficial for the text modes?
