I like Python’s notion of using indentation instead of braces. All it does is force you to be consistent with yourself. Not a big deal, and it produces very reasonable code. I was very amused to see this however:
% python
Python 2.4.3 (#2, Mar 31 2006, 09:12:16)
[GCC 3.4.4 [FreeBSD] 20050518] on freebsd6
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> from __future__ import braces
File "<stdin>", line 1
SyntaxError: not a chance
