The Bad:
Colons at the end of if/while/for blocks.
No end required for if/while/for blocks.
Huh? if you have Syntactically significant indenting, then an "end" indicator is redundant. and right above, you say you don't like the redundant colon....
which is it??
It also is a potential problem with tab expansion tricking the programmer.
I do wish tabs had been banned from indentation from the beginning....
