Heh, but they had curly-braces to deal with, always a fine topic for
bikeshedding!

We do not have the brace problem, fortunately, just the need to indent
(which Python embeds in the language)

As for 'programs are readable documents', they always look to be
better as poetry, not prose; never fear using too much vertical space.

The Rust compiler by default spits out yellow ink if violations of the
naming style happen (CamelCase types, snake_case variables, SHOUTING
constants)

I'm fine with that since my opinions do not differ from rustc ;)
