I could never understand why people care this much about significant whitespace of all things. This seems like such a non-issue, it should be a minor annoyance at worst. Then again my favorite language is Lisp, so maybe I'm just too much beyond caring about syntax. The only annoying thing about significant whitespace is having to escape a new line sometimes.
But significant whitespace has always made sense to me. You are going to indent your code anyway, so you might as well give the indentation some meaning. I write Python, JavaScript and Lua most of the time, and I never waste any thought on whitespace VS braces VS keyword delimiters.
