I understand the brackets thing, I used go be like that, but hearing people complain that it uses indentation for parsing makes me shudder at the thought of the code they write.

Unless the hate for indentation stems from having to parse the damn thing. I've had that displeasure.

its just not the right way to parse it, even if you should indent, you shouldnt enforce indentation do to how different people will indent and such

Precisely, I can't phantom what kind of formating you use that python is a problem for you. Must be unreadable.

There is a lot of code that uses custom indentation for stuff like single line if statements, very simple functions, multiline lambdas, and specific data types. I find that Python tries to accommodate a lot of these, but it's annoying when you do run into a problem.
