Yeah, that's an excellent point. I remember arguing with friends about this vs braces. Mis-indent error is also a hard-to-detect bug in general. Also, a joke from Python-dev:

>>> from __future__ import braces



Python with braces ... aka Javascript

And I'm actually being serious. I program in both quite regularly. The Python ecosystem is amazing, but the web defaults to Javascript.


The __future__ may not be far off: Python with Braces (http://www.pythonb.org/).


This certainly is an underdog. Not that many people, probably just me, haven't heard of this yet. Interesting!
