I agree. Requiring brackets makes not much sense. This is not lisp. We have operator precedence and we can make use of it. And if that fails, use parens. No big deal.

I also prefer the "[...]" style to the python/ruby/JSON "{...}" style. It's consistent with nromal array literals and spares the curlies from getting overloaded yet another time.
