I think I'm with Ralf here. I find the pile notation highly
confusing and irritating when editing. It is one of the downsides I
find with Python, Haskell, Axiom, etc. For me, it isn't different
those infamous "tabs" in Makefiles. It is a relic from stone ages we
should not carry over.
Your mileage may vary.
I like python exactly because of indentation-based syntax. It is so
natural and easy to read.
Comparing it with an unreadable perl, I'd say that { } ; are relics from
stone age :-)
