I’m an embedded systems C programmer with passing familiarity with Python. To me it seems ridiculous that a language relies on whitespace for blocking. Is that true?
It only requires consistent indentation inside blocks, which is what any good code does anyway for readability. So the main difference then is just that you no longer need the redundant curly braces.

Yes, unfortunately. There is a lot of tooling around it but it still feels bizarre after years of using it.
I’m anal about curly braces in C. I never code without them because I don’t like being ambiguous.
I never do
if(i=0) return 0;or worse
if(i=0) return 0;I do
if(i=0) { return(0); }
