Well, if you want...

Never, such a feature should not be optional.

If you mean you hate it so much you don't want to see it, fine.

If you mean you'd like to see it go one way or another, that's interesting.
Parentheses are often optional in Ruby. I think options are good -- coding
conventions should be enforced by the project, not the language.

Have you done any significant development in Python?
(yes/no)

What's significant?

Mostly looking for self-assessment here. The fact that you can identify
something else you'd want to take from python suggests you've at least used
it. Contrast to Seebs, who "couldn't get past the horror" -- not that it's an
invalid opinion, but I'd much rather hear from people who are comfortable in
both.

For example, I can't get past the horror of PHP or Visual Basic, so my opinion
isn't as valuable as that of someone who has done significant development in
PHP and lived to tell about it.

Okay, I tend to ignore this discussion, mostly because I don't think
it is
worth much. It comes up every half a year, fills the mailing list and
is only
beaten by long discussions about ++.

I agree, which is why I've made it a poll. Mostly, I'm wanting to find out if
it's worth my time to pick an implementation and bring it up to speed, or
organize with other people who like significant indentation.
