Yes.
Aren't they using some translator or IDE which at lest hides the
brackets and semicolons?
I don't know of anyone who does that. I don't think anyone minds C's
brackets and semicolons, and lots of other languages like Java and Perl
People who do, like me, may avoid using C. I am really grateful that
there are people willing to maintain the C code for CPython ;-).
use them too, for programmer familiarity. The actual difficulty with C
is that it gives rise to a high incidence of hard-to-diagnose bugs.
