    I literally do that professionally, and I’m telling you that brackets are inarguably better.

    You are used to whitespace; I have literally spent months refactoring and upgrading a react frontend and a python backend and am telling you that brackets are a single character and far more predictable, and then your IDE / Linter / Formatter can reliably use them to fill in the perfect indentation and whitespace.

    My first professional language was Python, but I have since tried a half dozen others and would never choose to go back to a whitespace based language unless there was a good reason.

      I’ve written C, JS, PHP, and a few others. Today I write Python almost everyday and wouldn’t trade it for any of them. Maybe Rust, but not because of brackets.
