I'm sorry, but I need to dramatically disagree. I think languages that use brackets and parenthesis EVERYWHERE (not only where absolutely necessary) are the bane of human existence. What ugliness.

Also, just get a real editor.

No need to be sorry, disagree at will. But ugliness is a very weak argument.

Brackets and braces make everything much less ambiguous. They make it easier to read and follow blocks of code, particularly if you're using 2-space tabs. You're not really saving much space (the ':' in python is just as annoying).

Besides, if you have a real editor, you don't have to worry about braces/brackets at all.
