Visual Basic and Classic Visual Basic are in spots 6 and 11. I am not against Python's use of indentation, but I don't think it's better than having keywords such as endif or next terminate blocks.

Wow, you are right.

Still, I don't think I would choose Visual Basic to build the next big thing though :)
