Hi,
I've been recently working with people with diverse abilities and enormous
programming skills and guess what... most love programming 'languages with
braces' over pure identantion stuff, because they help them knowing in
which context they are. So, those braces may be 'superfluous' from the
language point of view but they don't harm the code and favour
inclusiveness ;-)
Just my.02 cents
