I'm not sure that this is true. In fact, I always feared that people who love 
indentation syntax might end up not using Nim because of the possibility that 
code may use braces or `begin` and `end`. I don't think it's that simple to 
sell the language to brace lovers.

Plus, there is a lot more about Nim's syntax that makes it Python-like. In C 
you would write `&&` instead of `and`. This will definitely upset some people 
too.

So let's think about this carefully before selling it. There is already plenty 
of people who see style insensitivity (`fooBar == foo_bar`) and jump to the 
conclusion that it sucks. This might be similar, it is also a kind of "style" 
insensitivity actually.
