Do you indent your code when you use braces? this { foo: bar; } If so - how is scanning for {} any different than scanning for indentation level? this foo: bar; You'd have a valid point if you wrote code as thus: this { foo: bar; } or this { foo: bar; } If you're using indentation and curly braces - one of the two isn't necessary. In my opinion, indentation alone is more scannable for code blocks than curly braces alone. If I were to drop one - it would be curly braces. I don't find Python all that difficult to read - and I primarily deal with Javascript and C#.
