...No? It sounds like you write very long, messy code blocks. Consider the following example, I will write a nested loop in 2 languages:

In Python:

  for _ in range(10):
    for _ in range(10):  
      print("Inner")
  print("Outer")

Here's something similar in JS:

  for (const _ of foo) {
      for (const _ of foo) {
         console.log("Inner");
      }
      console.log("Outer");
  }

In isolation, while I'm writing this comment, I would say these code blocks are equally easy to parse. In the context of frantically debugging, scurrying around a file, I may (and have!) missed the indentation difference in the Python example.

Curly braces allow me to have 3 visual indicators that a block is finished: a visual text object (the brace itself), an extra line separator (the closing brace lives on its own line), and indentation. In Python, I only have one of those things (just indentation). I can have 2 (indentation + line sparation) if I always insert a newline before `print("Outer")`, but empty lines can get deleted and I may forget to include them as I write code. You'd need to configure a linter to guarantee the line separation indicator in a language that delimits scopes by whitespace.

Obviously. You're using 2 spaces indentation for Python and 4 for JS. Don't be surprised that it is harder to see the indentation.

I think I might have indentation related bug early on, when I was new to Python, but I don't remember any recently. It could be that Python 2 allowed to mix tabs and spaces for indentation, while this is no longer allowed in 3.

Also this is how I would format the code:

    for _ in range(10):
        for _ in range(10):  
            print("Inner")
    
    print("Outer")
