The correct response honoring this should have been deafening silence. For me, if I had to design a new language today, I would probably use braces, not because they're better than whitespace, but because pretty much every other lanugage uses them, and there are more interesting concepts to distinguish a new language. That said, I don't regret that Python uses indentation, and the rest I have to say about the topic would violate the above request. -- --Guido van Rossum (python.org/~guido)
