I'm not a big fan of python but I use it a lot for quick stuff, and syntax is just a non-issue. Any half-decent editor will handle that for you (and yes, this includes Vim).

Criticize the wonky static typing tools and I'm with you. Criticize the unpredictable performance and I'll join the choir. Criticize dependency management and I'll unleash my rage. But come on, this is just not a thing. IME even data analysts with non-cs backgrounds and very limited programming ability never see this as a problem.

It's fine if you don't like it (I prefer my {s as well!) but I'll be honest: it really feels like a nitpick.
