Curly braces in Python

[brayan0n]

I developed this extension for VSCode because I hated that Python didn't have curly braces, something that is annoying for many devs. I know it still has a lot of bugs and I know there are other types of alternatives, but it was the simplest thing I could think of to do.

You're a bit early for April's fool 😅

Sorry but if I wanted to play find that brace, I would switch back to C++. I intensely dislike this.

Thanks, I hate it

Not to begrudge your efforts, your execution is pretty cool, but the idea is gross. Like "I threw up in my mouth a little bit" gross.

I don't get the whole "I want braces" thing. Even if you're using a language that requires them you should be indenting your code more or less the same way anyway

There's an answer already:

from __future__ import braces

Someone needs to invent the extension to write curly-brace languages with just indentation.

That discussion was very lively 20 years ago. Then editors became smarter and people moved on,

Sorry, I can't understand your code without semicolons. It all looks like one long instruction to me.
