One step further would be to omit the second brace too. And we arrived at the Python design choice. I think only omitting the first brace is a middle ground most people find unappealing.

Hence Ruby or Oberon style of "end". Personally I have no intention of ever seriously using a language with significant indentation levels. It's not worth suffering the visual clutter.
