Python is not very good at this. TypeScript with prettier will very often add missing commas or semi colons for me. I never have to worry about whitespace before the formatter comes into play.

Python's whitespacing felt nice in the days when there wasn't a ton of tooling around auto formatting but now it feels like a burden.
