 I have to say I quite like not having to have semicolon

 I too don't like to add the semicolon at the end of lines, I like to write
Python code that doesn't need them


How do you look at necessary curly braces in Go? Shouldn't they adopt python
syntax while keeping Go design?

I like Python syntax, but the features of a language must be all adapted to
each other, they form something like an ecology.

In general what I look for is a language syntax that is somehow resilient
against simple mistakes that mammals do all the time. So curly braces are
sometimes better than bug-prone alternatives.
