mm, I just posted a mail somewhere else about this !
I couldn't wait for indentation based syntax in Nemerle.

but for some reason, to me, it looks weird !?
 but I don't really use Nemerle much
(.NET for 'fun' mainly, more familiar w. BOO also)
Maybe if I used it more I'd get used to how it looks & appreciate the
advantages more.

ps: I have a small app in mind as a 'home project', thinking .NET of course,
I want to try to use both Nemerle & BOO ... we'll see.
just completed my GTK# vs wx.NET tests (I'm stubborn !)
(wx.NET 'failed', too many things that didn't work)
next step is trying out SDL.NET.

So I might have more to say about indent syntax eventually
of course I'll have Nemerle questions for sure ! ;-)
