The second one. Even people who dislike indentation based syntax will use 
Python if it helps them solves their problem. I've never heard anyone say "Yeah 
we need to use Numpy but I don't like indentation based syntax so let's use 
Java instead".

I personally like indentation based syntax more as I find it more readable and 
coming from someone using an AZERTY keyboard the `{` is not as easily 
accessible (but that's my personal bias).
