Hello Anthony, Welcome to this list. :) Python is written in C, and developers use semicolons and branches in C. However, when Guido designed Python, he specifically wanted white-space indented language. The idea was it will be less intimidating to beginners and more readables. It seems to have been a great decision and as the design is still going strong and is unlikely to change in future.
