Well, you know Archimedes and Aristotle had thought through all concepts in everything so nothing is new really :). Or more recently, all languages are just little flavors on Turin machine or Lambda calculus. But practically, Python had been one of the language that sets aside itself dramatically. It's still surprising to me that language designers - including folks on Go team - still have hard time thinking outside of braces. It's almost disguesting how C# requires braces and uses == vs =. When you look at Python, it's apparent that Guido van Rossum had no inclination to do things as it was popular at the time and he put a lot of thought in removing redundancy, putting else clause in for and so many other cool things that are now so obvious.
