Closing tags and curly braces are only redundancy if the compiler/interpreter looks at both them and at the whitespace. I don't think any existing languages do that.

No, they're redundancy either way because both sets of syntactic elements communicate to you.

It'd be even better (in this way at least) if the compiler required they match, but you are also a parser.
