Contrived or not this has happened to me when copying and pasting, but I take your point that people won't mix and match. > I guess my point is just I think you subjectively dislike Python’s syntax (which is fine) but are trying to make objective justifications for that which seem really far fetched. Why not just say you don’t like it? While the issues I encountered might seem contrived and far fetched to you, they have happened to me, granted I don't do Python professionally. As I said on first comment, I don't like it because of the reasons I mentioned, some are factual,e.g. indentation when copy and pasting can mean that the script/program won't run, some are opinion-based, e.g. they [braces] are easy to visually parse.
