   OMG. This is the real deal. Bython: Python with braces. Because Python is awesome, but whitespace is awful. Bython is a Python preprosessor which translates curly brackets into indentation. Would you use this? https://pypi.org/project/Bython/

     @nixCraft what if the braces are rendered instead as a plugin in vscode etc...? So you can still keep the python whitespace but for those who prefer curly braces they can still see it?

     @nixCraft i would definitely use this. Indentation is the only reason i didn't like python. I have the same issue with yaml

     @nixCraft Does it also enforce a braces style? Because if not, you're right back to braces holy wars, assuming the coder adopts a consistent style.

     I wouldn't bother with it.

     When I do Python I *LIKE* not having to deal with braces. 🙂

     @nixCraft why don’t you just switch to a real programming language? 🤪

     @nixCraft NEVER! from the python features, the identation is the best thing they have.

     @nixCraft only if you add goto statements and header files too. 😄 But why fix something that isn't broken?

     @nixCraft the idea is cool, but nobody's using a preprocessor for braces.

     @nixCraft it's a good start.

     now add static typing and then it be something i'd use without feeling like i want to pluck my eyes out and sell then on the black market.

     @nixCraft Such a simple and genius idea! This brings me closer to using python than anything before. But ffs, why are the opening braces at the end of the lines?!
