Is Python going to support s syntax the does not use it's infamous whitespace rules? I recall reading that Python might include such a feature. Or, maybe just a brace-to-indentation preprocessor would be sufficient.
Many people think Python's syntax makes sense. There are strong feelings both ways. It must depend on a person's way of thinking, because I find it very confusing, even after using with Python for some time, and trying to believe the advice that I would learn to like it. The most annoying thing is that multiple dedents are very unreadable. I still don't understand how anybody can think significant-but-invisible dedentation is a good thing. Note: No need to follow up with long opinions of why indentation is good -- they have been posted hundreds of times. It just seems that Python developers think the whitespace thing is only an issue for newbies. I think that many experienced users don't learn to like it, but instead just learn to live with it. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
