I just found it on a reddit post from r/programmerhumour and I found it to be actually decent after I mentioned someone nim in here on HN and they said that they don't like whitespace and I thought that they were fair and I actually looked at a nim processor that could do something like it but there were none.

Here is the reddit post

Although, This isn't related to python, I actually went into Nim forum to see that they were using it because of their inspiration with python and so It was a bit funny / semi full circle seeing Python with braces.

Maybe we need to make Nim with braces as well :> I think that some people might genuinely like that. Its definitely a bit in my mind.

This is interesting. I don't hate Python, but it has a few things that I find irritating enough that I tend not to use it. Topping that list is that white space is significant.
One of the reasons of Python's success IS whitespace.
