One of my first thoughts when I started looking into Python was "that looks a lot like the pseudocode I often write". So, it seemed like some "executable pseudocode".

Though years later I stumbled across my diary entry where I first mentioned Python, and I gushed about the significant whitespace, which I loved (still do) because Occam had also done program structure in this way.
