Curly braces are the chicken nuggets and fries of computer science, lol.
Within about 18 months at university (80s), I learned BASIC, FORTRAN, Pascal and Lisp. Syntax, yeah, whatever.
(We transitioned to C later, to my horror, with an eye towards a future using “C with classes”)
The vast majority of the programming world simply doesn't seem to agree.
Don’t expect me to be happy about that, though.
I’ll even upvote your comment, as it does matter a little. Too bad C is what “we” settled for.
