I have considered Python many times, but I cannot work with a language that considers whitespaces as required syntax. I just cannot work with it.

Whitespace is not any more significant in Python than most languages.

Indentation is significant.

Just replace '(' with space/tab and ')' with "deindent". Done.

Have you done indentation with anything else other than whitespace?

I prefer to let this idea of required indentation to FORTRAN.

the downvotes are funny because this was exactly the criticism Python got before it became popular. Probably still gets it.
