I'm not sure if I understood what you mean by "layout" correctly, but
{
company name => 'Kamamaya Technology', employee 1 => first name =>
'Jane', employee 1 => last name => 'Doe', employee 1 => title =>
'President', employee 2 => first name => 'John', employee 2 => last
name => 'Smith', employee 3 => first name => 'Clarence', employee 3 =>
last name => 'Darrow',
}
where the layout is completely disarranged, parses exactly the same as
the original
{
company name => 'Kamamaya Technology',
employee 1 => first name => 'Jane',
employee 1 => last name => 'Doe',
employee 1 => title => 'President',
employee 2 => first name => 'John',
employee 2 => last name => 'Smith',
employee 3 => first name => 'Clarence',
employee 3 => last name => 'Darrow',
}
So in the sense of "arrangement of whitespace", the syntax is not
dependent on layout. (The above rearrangement was done by using the
Linux "fmt" command. Any other whitespace rearrangement will work as well.)
I hope I'm reading your comment correctly. -- jeffrey

It might be appealing at first sight, but its reliance on layout makes
it quite unperlish.
