Larry Wall's comment on python...

[Matt Gerrans]

I think "the pound-end operator" is the technical term (I'll have to defer
to Guido on that).

One of the niftiest things about Python is you never have to argue about
whether you should put your curlies in the wrong place, like this:

void foo() {
   //...
}

...or whether you should place them correctly, like this:

void foo()
{
    //...
}

It saves the world from a lot of unnecessary creation and release of hot air
(so Python has probably done more to help reduce the greenhouse effect than
any other software technology!).
