My experience in learning new languages is that the use of indentation vs. 
braces contributes rather little to the overall effort. You also have

  * different paradigms
  * different semantics for structures that look the same in your familiar 
languages
  * different idioms (also because of different language features)
  * learning the ecosystem, i. e. tools and libraries (both standard library 
and third-party)



That said, I _can_ imagine that developers would prefer a "C-style" syntax 
because they're used to it, but I don't think it's realistic that the 
"structuring style" would contribute much to the overall language learning 
effort.
