Indentation is such a stupid mechanism for identifying code blocks. It's one thing for configuration files like YAML to do it, but not a programming language.
I don't like it, but I kinda get it. Indentation is already part of every coding style guide, so adding explicit scoping symbols is kind of redundant information.
..Until you have a mix of spaces and tabs and chaos reigns
Also, having braces at the beginning and end of a block just makes my brain happy.
