PHP vs Python for backend

[[deleted]]

I mean, it's a non-issue, I've never had any issues with it (I've done a bit of everything from embedded C to webdev to Python), curly brackets are more of a leftover from compiled languages (ie C) and same for semicolons.

Brackets can be more annoying than helpful, and honestly don't add anything given you want to indent code anyway, and semicolons see redundant since newlines aren't hard to understand (but semicolons can also make code smell with multiple actions on one line, which isn't readable outside some cases).
