I see the point of the OP. Couldn't the new-line be used as an
equivalent of ':', for example, do you find this difficult to read:
if a == 3
do_something()
if a == 3: do_something()
And surely, it should be easy to parse by the compiler.
Yes, it could be done, there are no technical reasons to always force to
use ":". But AFAIK the main reasons to keep ":" are internal consistency
(an inner block always starts with ":"; incidentally, that's easier to
handle for editors) and legibility (the ":" stands for itself and has a
meaning)
