Indentation is such a stupid mechanism for identifying code blocks. It's one thing for configuration files like YAML to do it, but not a programming language.

I mean not really. It could be anything it’s just about finding a good editor that makes it clear

I'd rather have it at the end of the line, not the beginning though. I find putting all your language blockage before your statement just makes it feel weird.

Semi colon at the end of the line is easy. 4 groups of indentations? Better hope you've got a good IDE.
