I am programming in Python mostly on my job and sometimes in C++ 
and JavaScript. Personally I like syntax with braces to define 
blocks more that Python's syntax without blocks.
One of the reasons - why?1 Is that very often when I copy-paste 
some fragments of code then some editors sometimes just tries to 
autoindent programme and does it wrong. Then it breaks entirely 
and I get some errors from production just because of this.
And just for aestetic reasons I like when blocks are explicitly 
delimitered by braces.
Syntax with braces also allows write "one-liners" easier when 
it's needed.
So personall I shall not use this in D
