Inspired by Python? Like they overheard someone talking about Python before they implemented some feature? all I see are "{", "}", and ";" everywhere ;-)

`init`, `self`, the comment syntax, `and`, `or`, and the import syntax are all pretty clearly python-inspired, to name a few. "Curly braces or no curly braces" is not the only syntax decision a language has to make.

There's obviously a lot more inspiration from typescript, but they do list python second in the title, so that's fair.

I think it's just the "print ()" syntax
