Gnome Genie, programming language with close to python syntax. Genie is a dialect supported by the Vala compiler to ease application programming based on GOBject and GLib, usually for the GNOME desktop. Vala can be compared to C# syntax, Genie to Python.
Genie uses source code indent as part of control flow management, default is Tab. Use a top level directive of [indent=n] to set a preferred per level indentation spacing, if Tab is not your thing.
