If you move a block of code to a place just after e.g. a loop, it isn&#x27;t clear whether it should be inside or outside the loop, your editor cannot guess this. You still need to tell it at what level the new code should be inserted. And if the end of the loop happens to be nested further, the ambiguity is exacerbated.<p>I switch between C and Python quite frequently. With C, I just type the code, and let my editor manage the indentation, which it can do perfectly without any help from me. With Python, I find that I spend a lot more time thinking about the formatting itself, especially at the end of block, because it&#x27;s up to me to get it right.<p>I fail to see how the _lack_ of a closing brace _improves_ comprehensibility. What Python has done is removed a helpful indicator, and put more of the responsibility on the programmer.<p>I&#x27;m happy to type that extra character in C, because it helps lower my cognitive workload so I can focus more on the problem I&#x27;m trying to solve. The closing brace doesn&#x27;t mean anarchy, or make the code harder to understand later.
