If you like if statements, you'll love the python case statements for pattern matching

Ohhh nice! I could see replacing dozens of nested if statements with dozens of nested case statements!

Also don't nest case statements. Please.

I remember one of the hardest transitions for me from scripting in Ruby to Python was the whitespace indent was larger by default in Python. With Python, I ran out of monitor width and would have to be constantly scrolling right and left when visually parsing the code because the nested loops were so deep.

Yes, but also, it makes for twistsd code.
