    I honestly think the scripting languages like fish have got it right.

    Newline by default completes a line and can optionally be escaped. Saves you most of the semicolons and even implicitly highlights multi-line statements.

    Whitespace doesn’t matter except for separating names.

    Blocks are explicitely ended without braces you can confuse with brackets or parentheses, no matter the coding style.

    If Rust and fish had a baby, I think it would be the best language to have ever been created.
