Interesting, well have to see how it develops in the future. Although, I normally dislike languages without {}, but I suppose that is just preference.

I hate having to press Shift to get braces. Let's use square brackets which require no modifier key.

Just a question: but are you considering the frequency of usage for a particular symbol in that suggestion? If {} is for opening/closing functions or code blocks/scope AND [] is for making arrays, lists, or some other data structure: do you only want them switched where, idiomatically, where there are less function definitions vs instances of the data structure? Or is it an overall objection to any shift+key operator in a basic syntax?
I don't code in C/C++.
