There was also Occam from the early eighties
      http://directory.google.com/Top/Computers/Programming/Languages/Occam/

where each construct was indented by two spaces to show structure:

PROC write.string(CHAN output, VALUE string[])=
  SEQ character.number = [1 FOR string[BYTE 0]]
    output ! string[BYTE character.number]
    
write.string(terminal.screen, "Hello World!")
