With GNAT and the -gnatyh switch, the compiler will issue a warning if
it encounters tabs in source code.  Our coding standard "requires"
users to set the "convert tabs to spaces" and the "trim trailing
spaces" settings in whatever editor they use (usually GPS, GNATbench,
or UltraEdit)

We also use the ASIS based gnatcheck (coding standard checker) and
gnatpp (pretty printer) to check and standardize source code format
for our Ada projects. I suspect other languages don't have such good
utilities since they have no equivalent to ASIS (that I'm aware of).

Neither. It seems to be Microsoft's attempt at yet another functional
language (YAFL).
