Just curious, is it harder to read white space indentation code like python versus curly bracket code like JavaScript?

I don't really find one easier than the other, but I do use indentation in the same way sighted people do. I find it a lot easier than counting braces in my head.

does indentation sound like a pause in the speech?

NVDA just says "one tab" or "two tabs" before the line of text, but only when the indentation level changes.
