Why would anyone seriously want to use curly braces to denote scope? Surely significant indentation, or implicit scope based on the surrounding keywords, is far superior.
Also consider this: every time you wish to enter { or }, you must hold down the shift key. That is one extra wasted keypress per scopening and sclosing.
And it just looks messy, like a spastic has been scribbling nonsense all over your screen.

Any language you can't do things like
[cod€]if (!connected(node1, node2));
alternative_algorithm = 1; [/code]
Isn't worth coding in. Remember, every time you trip your fellow programmers up, they're reminded that you're smarter than they are.

I like braces, they help you to know where each statement starts and ends.
I always put the curly brace under function and class, but put it to the right of for, while, if, etc.
I also use style 3 of indentation.

Then you might as well not bother having curly braces if you use a consistent style of indentation.

C style dialects are made of fail. The suck-tax just make it easier on parsers, not on the programmers.
Brackets, case sensativity etc. All fail.
if(..){
}
vs
If .. Then
End If
Oh noes! I typed 9 extra charachters! Well, actually if you aren't using some fail IDE you can specify an if statement in 3 charachters.

Extra keywords are just a poor substitute for having a way to group code.
You are correct. Semicolons are huge fail. Multiline statements are the exception not the rule. So forcing one to type a semicolon after every line, when only a few of their lines are going to be multiline is true fail.
The extra keywords at least have an explicit meaning. Where braces have no meaning other than something is ending (the starting brace does have an obvious meaning as it follows the keyword of whatever is starting). If you want to make it convey an obvious meaning (as in what exactly it is ending) you need combine it with spacing, or another popular trick is to use comments, fail). Python has shown us that spacing can be used to group code, and it does so without the braces because the spacing inherent to braces makes the braces redundant.
The only language where braces make sense is JavaScript on a webpage because of download performance concerns.

The extra keywords have a superfluous meaning. Brace languages just compound the fail by having both keywords and braces.
It makes no more sense in JavaScript, since it's getting compressed before it hits the wire anyway.

Python and Haskell are superior in this regard. If you're going to indent your code anyway, it's a good idea for that indentation to have meaning. And where you don't want to indent your code, you can use braces and semi-colons.

Some of you are just showing how bad at programming you really are. Those long explicit strings in code is just an incredibly bad and faggy practice.
The symbol for testing equality and assignment is different in some languages because it was easier to write their parser, not because there is some intrinsic value to doing so.

Before the detractors come, that is actually a useful C idiom, though your second way is slightly more "accepted" (and the compiler won't bitch, either.)
Thats just not good practice. The if statement is actually responsible for assignment, its resposible for chacking the result. Thats 2 different things and should be convey as such in your code. Especially since it makes more sense to assign a value to something at its declaration for many reasons, and because you aren't going to be declaring something in the statement of an if statement.
1. Perform assignment
2. Check the assignment
Grouping it together doesn't produce a more performant execyltable or more readable and maintainable code.
Fuck, that should read:
The if statement is NOT actually responsible for assignment, its resposible for chEcking the result.

Not because it's easier for programmers to read and because assignment and tests for equality are unrelated concepts?
>because assignment and tests for equality are unrelated concepts?
As much as using the + sign is for numerical addition and string concatenation.

No, in the latter case you're still putting two things together. The result is different but the high level concept is the same.
For the record I prefer a separate operator for concatenation, but your statement is still incorrect.

String + Number, okay, fine. But statements like foo = String + Number + Number + String confuse me at first glance. I prefer Perl's and PHP's . operator and VB's & operator.
This is also why Scheme is superior. SET! is much better than =

By "incorrect" I was referring to the statement that concatenation and addition are unrelated.
