That was one of two points that really stuck in my craw about Python. But
ya know what? 2+ years later and now I go back to Perl code or poke through C
code and I just find it nasty to paw through. And writing either of those,
oy, don't even get me started. It's definitely something to get used to and
the more used to doing things with block delimiters the more friction there is
to doing it any other way. But I'd not go back and I wish other languages
would take the same path.
