I think you need to drop or at least weaken an inspiration from CoffeeScript if that's a goal, otherwise everyone will immediately draw a connection to that and overlook any other aspect of Civet. (I personally hate CoffeeScript especially for its indentation and that contributed to my initial reaction.) You can't solve this problem with simply supporting two radically different coding styles---the front page seems to prefer one over another anyway.

I love getting rid of visual noise of brackets around code blocks. It's as silly debate as tabs vs spaces. It should be a text editor setting if you prefer to see them or hide and see just indents instead.
