> The python syntax is not pretty to begin

That's an interesting objection, given Python is the closest programming language to English. Understandable if your native language isn't English, but really strange otherwise IMO.

Semantic indentation is fundamentally an insane design. And I don't mean "insane" as a colloquialism for "dumb". I mean it is literally not a sane choice to make.

English would make a horrid programming language, so being close to it is not a plus.
