Come on! This is ridiculous! Once you are told once what {} mean, is it
cryptic at all? Maybe we should all program in COBOL. (Sarcasm intended.)
These symbols are a basic part of the language which can be easily
understood by the reader of a program after, oh, maybe one time of being
told what they mean. How does verbosity make a good language? Truly, I
have no problem with Turbo Pascal and in fact I used to use it a lot, but I
think you need to come up with better reasons to slam another language than
your lack of understanding of its symbols.
