Many coding styles place begin/end brackets on a line by themselves. This makes programs considerably longer and wastes valuable screen space, making it harder to get a good overview of a program. Ideally, a function should fit on one -screen (say, 20-30 lines). 20 lines of Python can do a lot more work than 20 +screen (say, 20--30 lines). 20 lines of Python can do a lot more work than 20 lines of C.
