Back in the day before enforcing code formatting via linting tools become commonplace, many programmers often ignore formatting at all and do whatever they please, mixing tabs and spaces in the same file, not indenting their code blocks, mixing camel case and snake case, and a whole lot of other formatting eyesores. One day Guido van Rossum decided enough is enough and created a programming language where such programmers are forced to behave, else their program wouldn't run. He named it Python because he often hiss at those annoying programmers during code reviews.

For real, you really can do anything there, sometimes sacrificing efficiency, but still.
