One of the long-time jokes in Python is that it has all the block-delimiting styles already.
for elm in lis: # {
print elm
# }
for elm in lis:
# BEGIN
print elm
# END
Goldsmith is right that C was an innovation in its time. C was written in
order to write Unix. The concept of agile languages didn't exist: people
were looking more for something that could be clearly mapped to assembly
language. Just having functions rather than GOTO's was a big deal.
