Frankly I hope the future will be make with indented languages. Curly braces languages often allows too much liberty, and it's annoying. The fact that go enforce the curly brace style is really the tipping point of curly brace languages.
Granted there need to be some good compromise for ambiguous details when parsing an indented syntax, but readability matters much more than anything to me.
