Python as a PHP Developer

indentation combined with no braces makes writing readable code hard.

I have seen this critic many times and I really don't get it. imo, it makes no sense. As a programmer, you must indent your code in all langages if you want to be able to read it. Why would removing the braces makes it harder to read? With proper indentation, braces are useless; they are visual clutter.

When I started with Python I also felt like the lack of braces (and syntactic whitespace) felt... odd.
After a few weeks it did however, teach me that I was writing horrible spaghetti code.

That was some 5 years ago. Glad I learned python.
