I might point out something that captures something about pass: it is made to do extra duty in web2py, which is meant to shield students from some of the more preventable complexities of a LUM CLI, and you don't easily indent code the way that Vim and Emacs, let alone a full IDE besides the IDE nature of web2py, forces people to deal with. People getting up to speed with Vim or Emacs, for anything that is usually indented, find and/or seek out how to maintain indentation without hitting the space bar 4/8/12/... times at the beginning of the next line. And it works. It was probably not intended or even anticipated in the design of Python, but my understanding is that the adapted usage works well. And if I may put on asbestos longjohns, there is no reason I am aware of why syntactic sugar, in the style of Python-influenced Coffeescript, could not be modified to make "from __future__ import braces" represent a live and active feature. The net effect of significant whitespace in Python is that it provides one model to "say what you mean and mean what you say", and everybody who understands the language recognizes the beginning and end of a block, the end of a statement, a noop, etc. And this is pretty much the job description of C-family language syntax etc. Now there are advantages, namely no braces and no brace holy wars either, fewer Perlish sigils as even a statement is usually ended by line break, and so on. But Python-style and C-style syntax alike provide an unambiguous tool to specify what you want, and an unambiguous means of interpreting what was actually said. The non-C-style syntax was the biggest "steaming pile of dinosaur dung" hurdle before ESR appreciated the language, but Python syntax and C-style syntax are both adequate. They may or may not be equal, but every instance of code which unambiguous Pythonic syntax is underscored is an effect that should usually be equally easy to implement with C-style syntax.
