brackets.py

#### Python should have indent-based alternatives to wrapping in all types of bracket
#
# Benefits:
#   - indentation means no brackets to match n levels deep
#   - new lines can replace commas, easy to reorder
#   - feels nice and Pythony, works with the rest of the syntax
#   - looks much cleaner and more readable without closing brackets and commas
#

# Instead of this
argparse.add_argument(
  '-c', '--config', 
  default='config.json', 
  help='use the specified JSON config file')

# Do something like this (note multiple items on a line with commas)
argparse.add_argument(:)
  '-c', '--config'
  default='config.json'
  help='use the specified JSON config file'

# What about dicts?
data = {:}
  'name': 'Homer'
  'address': {:}
    'line1': '724 Evergreen Terrace'
    'town': 'Springfield'
  'age': 64

# Or using the constructor
data = dict(:)
  name='Homer'
  address=dict(:)
    line1='724 Evergreen Terrace'
    town='Springfield'
  age=64

# Could be used for lists
boards = [:]
  [:]
    ['X', 'O', 'X']
    ['O', 'O', 'X']
    ['O', 'X', 'O']
  [:]
    ['X', 'O', 'X']
    ['O', 'X', 'O']
    ['O', 'O', 'X']

# And list comprehensions!
greetings = [:]
  f'Hello, {person.name}!' 
  for person in universe.people.values()
  if person.is_awesome and 
    person.place = 'world'
