thanks for the answer! I've read through the axiom-book, and it looked quite good, until I realised that this anti-syntax like in python is used: That's a show-stopper. In principle, of course, such indentation-games should be only part of the user-interface, and one should be able to go to the level of the "real syntax" and use brackets as usual (or treat it as a different user interface) --- but unfortunately I have never seen it, and so I fear that also Axiom only accepts input in that indentation-format?
