maybe eveyone should code in python. in python there are no braces and
no BEGIN END. the way the block is from is by indentation! 

python has solved this life lone problem of where to places the braces!

I think however, having a uniform style is the best solution. one can really
get used to any style. I prefer

if a
{
  ...
}

but if I have to use

if a{
   ...
}

then I would. it is no big deal really !!

btw, since Ada has no braces, what is the problem? this only seems to
be C/C++/Java thing, since those uses braces.
