If by that reference to Python you mean you want significant whitespace, I think that would make it unnecessarily difficult to work with different scopes.<p><pre><code>  fn something() {
      foobar();
      {
          bar();
          foo();
      }
      quux();
  }
</code></pre>
That is much easier to understand, and easier for tools to work with (they can actually automatically indent your code without breaking it), than:<p><pre><code>  def something():
      foobar()
          bar()
          foo()
      quux()

</code></pre>
edit: And how would you even add a  scope right after another block (like if)? That would require you to have a keyword anyway.
