Python with braces.

I'd agree, it seems like a terrible way to write code, at least for
humans. But maybe not for machines.  If you're doing a lot of automatic
code generation, as in some genetic algorithms I've seen that generate
code to solve some problem or another, then I can see how it might be
more natural to write a prorgam that generates properly brace'd code
than properly whitespace'd code.  (The example I'm thinking of was in
Lisp, incidentally.)
