It’s a shame it’s got less opinionated in other ways. Scala developers must be really looking forward to the endless debates over curly brackets vs white space.
I still can't believe they went for that. I wouldn't really care if the team wanted to switch to significant indentation, but it's absurd to provide two altogether different syntaxes just for the sake of it.
I don't think i will be much of a problem. Braces are already optional in Scala2 if you only use a single expression. The change just gives you the option to be more consistent and remove braces everywhere.
