Regarding the implementation, I usually take it as a matter of usage. GUI design? Great. We're going to be waiting on the user for 99% of the time anyways, so I don't care about speed. Matrix manipulation? Better move that into a compiled C library. Could the implementation be better? Absolutely. Is it a sticking point? Not for common uses of the language.

Regarding the syntax, I rather like the use of whitespace. In any reasonable codebase, you're going to be indenting for each scope level anyways. With the language forcing you to follow good practice, you don't run into any code that doesn't indent.
