So Rockbomb and I got into an argument about programming languages that accept or recognize spaces. He tried to prove to me that there was a programming language that recognized spaces, I explicitly stated that there was not. Is there?
Rules:
Programming languages only; HTML, PHP, etc. don't count (they're scripting languages).
Line breaks do not count (Like BASIC, and Visual Basic).
Strings do not count; so "Hello, world!" is not valid.
RB suggested LISP (Lots of Irritating Superfluous Parentheses, pun), so I guess that is one.
How many can you find?

When you ask your question what exactly do you mean? Like, recognise? I don't understand.

Lets loom at an example:
C# code public void Main() { privet IntPtr _programHandle; privet ArrayList _songs; public IntPtr ProgramHandle { get { throw new AccessDeniedException();} set { _programHandle = value;} } public ArrayList Songs { get {return _songs;} set { _songs = value;} } } Now, to use proper structure I added spaces (or tabs) before (or it could be after) the appropriate lines. C# doesn't care about that; whether you have 10, 20, 30, or no spaces before or after lines it compiles the same.
So that:
code public static void Nothing() is the same as:
code public static void Nothing ( ) You get it?

Privet like the hedge :)
I'd agree with SRAW on Python and Haskell; they both use whitespace to delineate blocks of code, like functions or class bodies or whatever. You can do this with tabs but can also do it with spaces. Beyond that... APL and J, maybe? I'm not sure as I've not properly used them.

I believe Providex recognizes spaces, but I could be wrong , as I often am.

PHP is a programming language. HTML is a markup language.
I'm not sure what you meant by "scripting language" but I'm guessing you meant "markup."

As far as I'm aware they're actually in the same state, no?

I meant languages that you do not have to compile for it to run like batch, VBscript, HTML, etc.

Well you don't have to compile C# or C or C++ or most any languages to run them.
And you can compile PHP, VBScript and basically all other programming languages.
So I don't really think there's a distinction.

Although you can make a distinction between compiled and interpreted languages most of them can be one or the other. For instance, Python is 'normally' an interpreted language. However, since a couple of years ago, .py files can be compiled into .pyc files.
