Python-like tabs instead of curley brackets?

Ditto. I'm by no means old yet I'm a fan of braces. I'll admit that 
BSD/Allman style annoys me (it wastes a bit -too- much space for my 
liking) but following K&R in general results in fairly neat, legible 
code without too much waste.

Sure, there's even less space "wasted" if you remove braces altogether, 
but it's not true to say that there is no longer any justification for 
them: tabs vs. spaces problems still plague some such languages (though 
this is generally a minor concern) and removing braces kills 
flexibility! I couldn't count the times I've needed to break convention 
to lay some special code out in a more sensible way.
