I also found Python and specially YAML pretty readable and prefer them
over curly braces languages or <unnecessary>verbose tagged</unnecessary>
languages. Specially the last one is pretty useful for documentation and
combined with markdown (like in pandoc) gives extensibility and readability.
These days almost all my coding and dev happens in Pharo (a Smalltalk
inspired live coding environment) and I'm using it to learn Lua for a
hobby project. Having a base language/environment like Pharo is helping
me to understand others languages and its idioms better than before. I
have some stylistic preferences on what I consider a language
interesting to learn and minimalism and readability are among them. Of
course that view can change from person to person.
Cheers,
Offray

My one potential objection to the code cluttering of braces, is that
they provide a completely non-assumed and guaranteed begin and end of
a code block.
Interesting. I personally find indentation perfectly natural,
despite having been a C programmer for almost 30 years. Of course,
braces are the least of C's problems ;-)
