I see the point about dots, commas and colons being helpful. I just used them in the previous sentence for readability! On the other hand, I worked exclusively in C-like languages until about five years ago (I almost exclusively use Python now) and I made the opposite observation. In English articles, indented lists and paragraph breaks really pop, helping me understand the structure of what I'm reading at a first glance. When I realized Python's whitespace gives me the same thing, I find it hard to go back to curly braces defining blocks unless there's an additional convention of whitespace-indentation on top.
