Just a thought. What if English had Python-like syntax? What if there were no periods? Sure, we would need to write sentences one per line, but this might be more readable, one could argue. What if instead of commas or semicolons we used indentation?

What if English had Python-like syntax?

What if there were no periods?

Sure

...we would need to write sentences one per line

...but this might be more readable

...one could argue

What if instead of commas or semicolons we used indentation?

I'm sure someone will take this idea a lot further. I just thought I would try to start some discussion on the merits of removing elements of syntax. This is following from my recent comment on the Dart programming language topic here: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3092558 .
