Which they fully acknowledge. Where's the joke on them?

"Didn't you know that python already has whitespace as syntax?"

"Yes, we did know. I quite like python, in fact. You might even have 
noticed that the language I chose to implement it in has whitespace as 
syntax. We never said "every" modern programming language ignored 
whitespace, just "most" of them. C, C++, C#, Java, Perl, Scheme all 
swallow whitespace, except perhaps as token delimiters."
