You can avoid curly braces and semicolons and also not have indentation determine the control flow. Julia, Fortran, Visual Basic, and other languages do this.

- TekMol 5y agoNone of these 3 is in the top 10. Personally, I would only consider languages very close in popularity to the leading one when deciding on the language for a new project.
- Bostonian 5y agoVisual Basic and Classic Visual Basic are in spots 6 and 11. I am not against Python's use of indentation, but I don't think it's better than having keywords such as endif or next terminate blocks.
- TekMol 5y agoWow, you are right. Still, I don't think I would choose Visual Basic to build the next big thing though :)
- Zababa 5y agoYes, and they use keywords, wich is basically another flavor of curly braces.
