Curly braces Memes

Imagine being so traumatized by whitespace that you create an entire preprocessor just to use curly braces. That's peak developer rebellion right there! Python devs who secretly hate indentation finally have their savior—Bython—where they can write Python code with C-style braces while still telling everyone they're Python programmers. It's like wearing a disguise to your own language's party. The irony of printing "Python is awesome!" 10 times in a language specifically created to avoid Python's signature feature is just *chef's kiss*.

Ah, the classic scope battle! The local variable (Simba) is asking about what happens outside those curly braces, and the compiler (Mufasa) is basically saying "that's not your problem, kid." Python developers are cackling in the background because they don't deal with this nonsense - no curly braces, no strict variable scoping rules. While C++ and Java developers are having existential crises about variable lifetimes, Python coders are just like "Everything is accessible if you believe hard enough!" This is why Python devs have that smug look at meetups.
