Opportunity missed by Python ?

[DevPlayer]

What I don't get is, having seen Python's syntax with indentation
instead of open and closing puncuation and other -readability-
structures in Python's syntax, is if someone is going to invent any
new language, how could they NOT take Python's visual structures (read
as readability) and copy it, whether it be a compiled language,
explicidly typed checked or whatever underlying mechanism they want to
make that code executable.
