I strongly agree with your main point that pythons syntax design is objectively poor, but content that even the grace you seek to extend to it is wrong
>Python encodes structure in only one way, using indentation
Except when you write a multiple line string using """ notation.
Or when you put things inside parenthesis, which i have seen as the preferred solution for method chaining.
Point is, python claims indentation is all that is needed, and then very quickly breaks it's own rule.
So it doesn't cost the US anything.
