At end of the study, the groups using the Algol based syntax will deliver less bugs.
I think language syntax design these days should include the IDE. E.g. Dart's syntax is nothing special and not good at preventing bugs in itself, but the Dart syntax works very well when used with the Dart editor (based on Eclipse).
These days it probably is a mistake to design a language syntax without considering what kind of IDE design the language is supposed to be used with.
