Which is irrelevant, because you can visualize code however you want via editor extensions.

An endeavor which is simultaneously hopeless and pointless.

Semantically, of course this does not matter. A block is a block, no matter if delineated by indentation or brackets. But RX looks better as plain text, and there is much less of a disconnect between RX as plain text, and RX as presented in a special editor (extension) for RX, than there would be for Lisp.
