Absolutely agree braces and parens are ugly and unreadable.
Yet if your solution to this particular case is functional syntax, i  
disagree.
It doesn't make it readable, at least when you are not writing "sample"  
code.
When things get ugly (they do) braces and parens are your only friends.

Whenever i see those that suggest tabs instead of braces, i can't help  
thinking that they just write "sample" code.

I would love to have "a => a*a" for only lambdas but for generic case i  
haven't seen anything that could replace parens and braces.
